Isobel Atacus
There is no supplementary text, but my thoughts have been around glitches, misdirection, things not / never / quite ever adding up, however simple it all seems.
Isobel Atacus – Bringing together fabricated and found objects, often using poetry as an impetus or bridge, the work of Isobel Atacus moves across sculpture, installation and text, to rest in the porous border between something narrative and something more abstract. Atacus is drawn to materials that seem to go against their initial reading, as a way of exploring how language is ascribed to material, and the way flows of material might be mediated, redirected, or altered in some way. The resulting work often comprises small collections or arrangements that can be seen to mimic – or contaminate – a kind of archival process.www.isobelatacus.com
