Artist Statement

enorê is a visual artist working with ceramics and 3D technology to explore the entanglements between virtuality, physical embodiment and matter. Primarily working with 3D printed ceramics, they use clay as a catalyst to question how digital data can be mediated through physical processes, with an interest in clay’s potential to hold, erode, and reconfigure form. Their practice navigates the fluidity between states, not limited to digital or physical, examining how traces of the body persist or dissolve through multiple cycles of translation. Upon being materialised, the 3D printed ceramics function as traces, appearing and disappearing throughout space as they exist between their digital origins and material embodiment; evidencing their own construction processes and the semantic failures that occur therein. This reconfiguration of the virtual data body, now stripped of its flesh, into a physical existence in clay points to a new type of matter; one which exists between the slippery gaps of translation, between virtual and physical, tangible and ethereal. Digital objects become as malleable as clay, straining under the tension of their own existence as virtual entities, being altered and reconfigured virtually, spatially and temporally.
