Suspensions examines fibreglass as a material of contradiction. Often invisible, fibreglass surrounds everyday life— insulating homes, forming furniture, enabling transportation, and supporting communication infrastructures. It offers comfort, lightness, speed, and connection. Yet the same material is also hazardous, synthetic, and militarized, appearing in drones, surveillance technologies, and weapons of war.
Through suspended sheets of fibreglass and resin, the installation makes visible what is usually hidden. Fibres hover within layered surfaces, catching light while resisting full legibility. Transparency, opacity, softness, and sharpness become unstable conditions rather than fixed qualities. Unfinished edges reveal the material in a state of becoming.
The installation does not resolve these contradictions but holds them—between intimacy and violence, concealment and exposure, beauty and danger. Its queerness emerges through this refusal to settle into singularity. The material appears partially, through layers, edges, light, and excess.
