Physical silence, absence.
This partially realised project is an attempt to break the female body down into separate organs. The uterus, stomach and lungs are recreated from thousands of glass beads — the internal and the living become fragile, almost weightless forms. Each organ becomes still, gradually losing its function.
Working with the organs became the starting point for NANIZANO — an exploration of fragility, materiality and emptiness, and an attempt to give physical form to what is usually impossible to see or hold.
How it is made
The stomach begins as a pencil drawing and four little colour swatches taped to the corner of the paper. Everything after that is one decision at a time: which bead goes here, what size, which way it points. The inner surfaces are the ones that catch the most light.
