Phoebe Collings-James’ work explores the poetics and emotional debris of violence, language, and desire, through the mediums of ceramics, video and sound.
For you feel me_, she brings together three works that suggest familiar symbols and rituals. Mother Tongue, Mother Master, a video of ringing bells on net stretched across the artist’s face, becomes a form of ceremonial accompaniment to the three pieces as a whole - the dissonant reverberation of bells echoing throughout the gallery space.
Collings-James’ work reweaves time: allowing us to reflect on the subconscious implications behind objects, actions, heirlooms and cultures.
