| Abstract: | A print work combining C-type photomontage with sculptural assemblage. Exhibited in Exquisite, Imaginary Cure, curated by Dr Zoë Mendelson at Annex Gallery, The Glasgow School of Art (14 November – 18 December 2025), the work brings together a digital image derived from a screenshot of the queer film Flaming Ears with layered 3D-modelled elements. The print is mounted on black-dyed MDF and extended materially through the placement of a small blue glass bottle containing cedarwood and lion’s mane, alongside onyx, selenite and a fragment of marble removed from the floor of Kelvingrove Museum. Blue Spell forms part of the ongoing PARA project, which investigates attachment, mediation and institutional inhabitation through image and material. The work examines how queer memory and institutional matter adhere to one another, producing a layered object in which citation, labour and speculative healing remain unresolved yet materially present as adornment. |
