VCA ART 2021

Rebecca Diele

Master of Contemporary Art

Recollection and the rehearsal of memory echo a performance of perseverance and endurance. Memory and thought repeatedly oscillate, swinging back and forth in a regular rhythm, like the steady undulation of a wave. I honour the flow of memories through weaving and mark-making, which serve as mnemonic techniques to record gesture and form. Sustained sequence and repetition are susceptible to change through both error and chance, interrupting the cycle of unwavering rumination. These moments bear the power to halt incessant order and control, to transform the topographical features of my work, reminiscent of bodily and mountainous landscapes. The interplay between controlled parameters and randomness carries a dualistic statement of strength and vulnerability.
