In The Press: 'embodied' featured in The Art Newspaper
Morley Gallery exhibition 'embodied' (7 - 28 October 2023) is featured in Chibundu Onuzo's column for The Art Newspaper, which explores Sokari Douglas Camp's sculptural practice:
'I believe that where the name Louise Bourgeois is known, the name Sokari Douglas Camp should also be known. Not only do both artists work in steel, but they have both made profound artistic contributions in the medium. Douglas Camp’s technique is unique. She does not cast her sculptures. She welds, cuts and bends sheet steel, wielding a blow torch as skilfully as other sculptors have wielded an adze.
Bourgeois’s work is profoundly psychological: sculpture of the interior landscape. Sokari’s work is profoundly political: sculpture that reflects the history of nations. And yet, Sokari’s work is also beautiful. The ideas behind her work are not blurred by beauty but are, instead, sharpened by it.'
Several of Sokari Douglas Camp's works feature in 'embodied', which runs until 28th October 2023.
