Primordial Soup
The Clapton Table
6th April 2023
‘Primordial Soup both explores and reflects on what it means to be human within the matrix of matter that surrounds us. More than just liquefying the heirachy established in The Chain Of Being, the project attempts to materialise the metaphysical aspects of our relationship with nature, and consequently its processes, including the cycles of life and death.
The project began in darkness and solitude, in which Kirsten drew a series of self portraits by touch and shadow. This intimate relationship with physicality expanded into a more personal approach to matter. Kirsten’s approach to making and the natural world resulted in a more expansive understanding of matter and the world around us.
The exhibition features her paintings, drawings, and sculptural experimentation as well as her research with natural materials, such as algae paper and moss.’
