Abstract
Stop-motion animation of a small white doll: the figure grows from a ball of modelling clay, is cut and sewn shut, and then buried and ‘reborn’, among a nest of white granulated sugar and the dark stain of slut’s wool - the fluffy dust that collects under furniture and along skirting boards.
White Body was shown originally at the Immersion exhibition, Scott Building, Plymouth University (26 June - 1 July 2008). The film was projected as a loop (silent) onto the gallery floor, with the clay figure enlarged to approximately human scale. Part of the Locate group exhibition, in association with the Land/Water and the Visual Arts research group annual summer symposium Landscape and Beauty.
Sound design by Stuart Moore was added in May 2009, for the 60 second version created for single screen exhibition.
