Sinéad Spelman creates sculpture and drawing with a minimalist language, as if taking us to the moment when forms begin to emerge. Her diagrammatic, gestural drawing gives shape to inexpressive characters in ambiguous, unsettling circumstances. These figures are in a state of fragility, and often appear to have suffered some kind of amputation, whether bleeding, disintegrating or fusing with some sort of organic feature. We see humans incarnating a fragmentary condition. While it is true that their incompleteness could be read as a deficiency, making them inadequate for the machinery of production that rules the present-day regime of labour, they are also made to be figures of resistance, calling for their right to be invisible. The indolence of these figures could be considered to be active, like being in a world that is always on strike.
