LR Vandy: Hidden
Following a sell-out debut at the 2018 edition of 1-54 London, LR Vandy鈥檚 highly anticipated exhibition features new works by the artist, including more from her signature Hull series.
In the current Hull series, Vandy transforms model boat hulls into 鈥榤asks鈥�, animating them with various materials, including fishing floats, porcupine quills and acupuncture needles.
The hulls allude to the transportation of migrants as commodities. As masks they present a transformation of identity, drawing upon the tradition of talismans, charms and amulets.
Representing aggressive protection, the materials Vandy applies to the hulls reference witchcraft/voodoo needles or nails, creating a tension throughout the works. The overall forms draw together the opposing aesthetics of attraction and repulsion; alluring and seemingly decorative pieces that on closer inspection provoke a sense of danger in the larger context of our world.
