'IN THESE FOUR WALLS' LEEDS ARTS UNIVERSITY END OF YEAR DEGREE SHOW (ONLINE) 2021
After being diagnosed with dyslexia, Swift struggled with the idea of possession when it came to writing about her work, and wanted to turn this into a positive, rather than a struggle. In her most recent sculpture series ‘Possession’, she made work that seemed pointless and radiated uselessness, as its only purpose was to be installed and seen by the public. The idea of making work that only she understood was incredibly appealing, and pairing this with her own opinions of uselessness and possession was the perfect match.
Wanting the audience to value her process, she left marks, dents and scratches so that the observer can ponder her process and understand the skill used in each piece. Texture has always been a very important factor for Swift, as she learns best from visuals and being hands on. Her contemporary pieces see a single large hole in each sculpture, allowing the audience to not only look at her work from the outside, but inside as well. Not hiding the supports used during the manufacturing enforces the value of process and how she wants to highlight this to the public, rather than hide it to allow for a ‘perfectly refined’ finished piece.
