Loafhead

(2025)

LoafHead centres on a speculative hybrid figure—part body, part bread—used to explore hesitation, escapism and denial. Bread becomes both material and metaphor: something that nourishes and grows, but also dries out, decays and disappears.

Through textile, sculpture and performance, the exhibition looks at how we respond to instability and crisis: how we adapt, avoid, endure or imagine our way out. At once vulnerable and absurd, LoafHead becomes a figure for both exhaustion and the possibility of change.

Trap, Bird, Ball continues an interest in extracting narratives from unstable or incomplete images. Forms initially developed through processes of enlargement and visual distortion were translated into sculptures whose function remains deliberately uncertain.

Installed together, the works operate almost performatively: part trap, part game, part stage set. Objects appear to anticipate an action that never fully takes place, suggesting rules, movements and encounters without defining them. The installation becomes a suspended scenario, where meaning is produced through expectation and the possibility that something is about to happen.
