Rebirthing the body: Josephine Cachemaille's 'FEEL UP!'

Abstract

"Nelson-based Josephine Cachemaille brings life to the seemingly lifeless. Positioning herself as a kind of divining rod to an undefined spiritual or fantastical realm, Cachemaille sees the object she makes as transcending the matter they are made of, gifted with the ability to speak to these objects, hearing what they want, seeing how they talk to one another. With a practice heavily influenced by her background in psychology, Cachemaille weaves together New Age mysticism with graphic minimalism, adding a dark edge and clever humour to a very playful, creative endeavor."
