Transfiguration (2016) / Installation
Threshold Festival, The Gallery, Liverpool
Statement:
Def: transfiguration
a : a change in form or appearance: metamorphosis
b : an exalting, glorifying, or spiritual change
In response to the theme of ‘Alchemy’ Woolston presents an installation that places an image of her Orthodox Jewish immigrant great grandparents next to one of Latin Americas largest landfills, skeletal red stag jawbones next to an inter-generationally inherited collection of liqueurs. This is a space of allegory and memento mori, of waste piled high outside a favela and abundant flowers surrounding a cemetery.
‘Robyn Woolston’s work provides the personal linear narrative, but uses internationally significant histories to support it.’
Patrick Kirk-Smith / Art in Liverpool
In the spirit of ‘turning base metal into gold’ the work situates our rites of passage at the centre of a transfigurative narrative.
