Cut-Outs
2007-2014
Installation
Materials:
Referencing the spaces used for creating the special effects of film and media imagery, two sculptural works are presented within the chroma key blue Cut-Outs room. Often focusing on female legs, which are based on the artist’s own, these fragmented bodies are themselves cut-out, occupying these spaces in various states of activity, perhaps dancing, parading or occasionally sitting, all with correct postures. Reflective of everyday experience under the conditions of patriarchy, the installation is also typical of Hamilton’s way of creating experiential settings, where viewers occupy space with the anthropomorphic presence of the works.
