Making Connections: 
The Sculptural Encounter as an Embodied Cognitive Experience

An exhibition of work by School of Art PhD candidate Fleur Summers

This exhibition explores the encounter of sculptural works as an embodied experience in which perception is active and involves sensory motor activity and cognition. The work is mediated through the moving body and employs strategies using composite objects and altered situations related to physical activity alongside environments of reduced illumination and restrictive architecture. It draws upon research in embodied and enactive perception and cognition alongside an exploration of phenomenologically active sculptural and spatial practice since the 1960s.
