HANNAH PLUMB
creates sculptural, photographic and light box work that is
derived from a strong interest in animism, which is 'the human
ability to project life onto inanimate and lifeless objects'.
Plumb's work consists of sculptures cast from sex dolls, light
boxes and badges featuring words and slogans appropriated from
the written descriptions on sex doll packaging such as 'loving
mouth' or 'inviting mouth and anus'. Plumb subverts Classical
notions of art by appropriating its chief characteristics such
as the sculptural bust or reclining nude. Rendered as it is we
are presented with a debased, alternative version. She is
concerned with fantasy, taboo and the marketing that forms a
connection between those and marginalised reality.
