statement

Victoria Rance’s work is concerned with the exploration of space and human behaviour, investigating human interaction within different physical and social and cultural environments. Her recent ‘sculpture to wear’ series create a sheltering skin that protects or alters the sense of self. The sculptures have elements of architecture and costume, and test the effect of the tension between protective constraint and freedom of movement. She explores how much those barriers are controlled, whether they are self generated or enforced by the wider culture, to protect those seen as vulnerable. They can have a beautiful or pleasing surface and offer shelter, but the feeling of being trapped within the skin, of claustrophobia or paranoia is the darker side to this, and the sculptures can sometimes suggest being caught or caged, leading to a sense of ambivalence.
