A 21st century pilgrim’s progress: art practice, place and the sacred

Abstract

The artworks and exegesis that comprise this body of work explore what it means to belong - in place, in a lineage and in relation to the sacred - and seek to understand how art practice serves to interrogate and address the alienating effects of dislocation, transience and otherness. In positioning art practice as a collaborative engagement, this work challenges traditional notions of personhood and expands the parameters of the numinous.
