We are delighted to announce two practitioners as this year’s recipients of our Cove Park Residency Evie Rose Thornton and Rahel Levine!
This second introductory post is dedicated to the work of Rahel Levine ().
Rahel Levine is an artist working in sculpture and text to explore the function of image, object and material in connection to the physical and psychological boundaries of our interior and exterior worlds. Building intimate architectures out of private and personal narratives that leak through their containment, they make works that complicate the interior spaces of our lives, playing with ideas of shame, exposure, containment, leakage, private and public.
“I will use my time on residency at Cove Park to work on an ongoing project titled ‘Afterburn’, this project consist of a series of glass cast lights that use an archive of imagery of reflections and double images as well as a printed folio of prints, drawings and fragments of text. This work is centred on the phenomena of afterburn images and memory and considers the link between our the contemporary position of images and how our memory is changing. During this residency I will focus on making molds for the glass sculptures, writing and editing the texts and wolfing on drawings and prints. I am very grateful to be offered the uninterrupted time and focus this project requires.”
