S-O-T Body Repairs: Narrative Pursuits

Last updated September 2025
<p>This paper is a metaphorical extension of my practice, intertwining my conceptual/theoretical development with my personal history. Written as a reflective case study, from a practice-led research perspective, the paper illustrates a realignment in creative methodology from a craft-based practitioner specialising in kiln-formed glass, to that of a mixed media sculptor. This transition allowed me to place the concept at the forefront of my practice, to explore the relationship of personal geographies of landscapes, to inform my prevailing concept of corporeal vulnerabilities. S-O-T Body Repairs was the title of a solo exhibition that sprang from this body of research and is discussed in this paper.</p>
