Collaboration by Kate Coyne and Judy-Ann Moule (JAM)

Weight/wait… restless sculptures, anticipating change

We have worked collaboratively in the gallery space.
Kate’s work includes sculptures made of queen-sized foam mattresses and inflatables. The work is site specific and embodies the ageing form and a posthuman/feminist view of time and gender. The idea responds to the notion of experimentation and works are created on site. Hovering between painting and sculpture these queen-sized sheets of foam and repurposed inflatables are transformed into a series of monumental and intimate wall-based and hanging forms. The alchemical process which is so essential to the way she works allows the creation of artworks which conjure and evoke an experience which is both powerful and poignant.

Judy-Ann’s work is a series of assemblages made from dismembered musical instruments, and other found materials. Using a reparative aesthetic, she transforms these found objects into evocative forms to address the concept of home. Juxtaposing the bell of a French horn with a pointing plaster finger and a cot on an unstable base, Moule plays with dichotomies of loud/quiet, hard/soft and powerful/vulnerable to create tension. Free standing and suspended these installed and often uncanny objects are positioned to create a space for conversation between them and Kate’s folded and limp forms.
