Artist Talk: Charlotte Harwood 7th of march

Harwood creates emptyness , arkward slips that escapes nmetaphor. Paused in construction. She looks at Lacan and the subject of the process itself and the fundentmental emptyness. The need to have confussion is apparnt in her work. Contain-container-context. Dealing directly with aesthics, lanauge, communication and myth to create debate and friction in her work. Icon 2011 , is a piece that uses objects that has socailly constructed myths attached to them such as the magpie. But the seduction of materials became more intersting than the start of the conversation in the work. The magpies were ment to be a critical point but turned into something far more seductive in a way of adversiting so this to her made the work fail. How to escape the methaphorical?
