Trisha Stone
Trisha Stone's work is primarily process driven, an engagement with materiality at its centre. Through subversive use of everyday objects she aims to re-configure their interpretation. Often using the body as a starting point and in particular a feminist agenda to reformulate the traditional reading of women's' lives and experience. With a background in traditional crafts of embroidery, weaving and tapestry she continues her making as a research in practice driven activity.
Form, texture, historical contexts and aesthetic principles are re-imagined. Working rapidly and intuitively she combines, carves, joins, melts, pierces, and penetrates the forms. Pushing them towards extreme limits of deviation and distortion and channelling a precarious line between acceptability and rejection.
Her experiences of being a daughter, mother, wife and grandmother are enmeshed within the physicality and psychology of her pieces and entwined with sexual and gendered references. Concentrating on an ambiguous domestic vocabulary of objects and references she aims to articulate inherent tensions between women and patriarchal structures.
Her choice of materials echo the constant recycling of the self as an individual whose attributed roles seek to frame, compress and constrain. Literally working outside the recycle bin redefines her contextual field of reference. Letting random materials speak for themselves by channelling their own narratives through the variety of their physical properties.
