Forms 2023
With the current work Forms, Engelmann continues on the same thematic track, while on the level of form we notice a cleaner, more refined sculptural approach. The artist subjects the resulting perfect spheres/forms to various “destructive” forces with the aim of nullifying and deforming their perfection. Through the process of (de)formation, she embraces imperfection, anomaly, and deformation as her ideal form. Attempting to counter prevailing liberal and capitalist definitions of success, the artist advocates deformation/failure as a form of resistance against the repressive social structures in which we live and operate.
