Statement

Victoria Bone an interdisciplinary artist with live art/performance at the center of her practice.  Bone look's at the paradox in themes; submission & control, strength & vulnerability and consider the social and economical restraints placed on the female body. Bone's work involves physically exploring and responding to materials that embody these themes, from this she creates items to move in , sometimes on the edge of wearability and actions to perform. The items are influenced by ceremonial costume and ritual, and the movement are simple domestic and historical actions; walking, feeding, dragging, washing.
