Revisiting Sycorax is a sculpted wire figure that emerges from Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest, and conjures an errant entrance into a new landscape. She is a supernatural force formed from an accumulation of twists and coils of wire. Tactile and visual forms intertwine race, science and art to craft a resonant hum, a toned and visceral perspective, a ruckus and audible language. Within her torso, lines and spirals (reminiscent of DNA strands), the figure re-constructs a sense of ancestral bodies and a present-day resilient female subject.
