Imogen Stidworthy
Imogen Stidworthy’s sculptural installations and films are shaped by different forms of voicing, through sound, body, and spatial and temporal relationships. She spends time being with, listening and staging situations with people whose language is shaped by powerful experiences, neurological conditions, such as aphasia, or cultural practices, such as shamanism. Her work grapples with the impossibility of glimpsing language from the outside; "What happens to sense-making in encounters with unfamiliar or unrecognisable forms of voicing? What different forms of communication emerge in spaces between languages? In recent years I’ve been engaging with these questions through the lens of autism, and non-verbal being."
