00:09:34
00:09:34 is the collective time taken to make the hand-sized clay maquettes on which these large scale stone and silicone sculptures are based.
Made in a ‘blind’ process by different collaborators, the clay maquettes describe a specific moment of felt-space, a framework adopted to introduce a series of shifts within the interaction between maker and viewer.
The clay shapes were scaled up from the impressions that fit within the palm of the hand, carved into stone to a size around which the whole body can wrap itself.
In a continuation of the mimetic relationship between maker and viewer/hand and body, silicone moulds were taken from the surface of the stone sculptures and displayed inside out. Shown together, the objects describe both an interior and exterior space, an inverted and extruded touch, but one that represents the same movements between the hands.
Made as part of Phd research funded by the AHRC.
