In a series of altered photographs, an artist offers remote support for monumental sculpture under threat in war- torn Ukraine.
Ukraine’s swaddled monuments - as seen on screen- captured the pathos of a fragile cultural moment, serving up a set of new public sculptures necessitated by threat. These ‘bodies’ illustrate an urgent collective effort to pad, sandbag and protect the body of the sculpture and the implicit memory of a people’s culture. My screen mediated gestures were sincere attempts to make contact with and lend support to bodies in need during a time of crisis.
