A body of sculptural work drawing from the biological-energetic theories of Wilhelm Reich (’Orgone energy’), and referencing late 20th Century minimalist sculpture. The body of work, spanning 2007-2011 and involving both studio-based and desk-based research, took both the biography and theories of Reich as a starting point to explore transformative agency, materiality and immateriality, and the appliance of strategic subjectivites.
