Belinda Grace Curran - Alice 'n' Orbit
Wellington artist Belinda Curran brings us a dauntingly engineered large kinetic work that literally grinds bones. In the form of a generic insect the associations are those of mass culture and dehumanization. It cycles endlessly producing identical pellets of bone, hinting at patterns of conformity and powerlessness. However Alice is also strangely appealing and vulnerable, as Curran seems aware of by her choice of name. With a strong background in industrial tool making, machining and structural welding, this artist brings her interest in the tools that make the tools to this project. Alice draws parallels between the mechanics of human and insect societies ‘the daily grind.’ Alice is about the individual’s lack of power to affect the mass human psyche, and asks if society is formed by the patterns of the individual, where does the onus for change lie?Belinda Grace Curran
