Overview.
The Furies Collective came together in early 2026 - against a backdrop of intensifying territorial violence and the visible erosion of women's rights - to turn to AGEISM as a critical site through which patriarchal structures operate. Formed by an intergenerational group of women, the project counters ageism by creating the conditions to work across different temporalities, lived experiences, and cultural positions. Rather than treating age as separation, the collective brings bodies into contact.
Role: Artist, producer & set designer.
Inspired by accounts of how knowledge and resistance are transmitted through generations - often through fabric, gesture, and domestic making - the collective enacts this transmission materially. The act of passing fabric across their hands becomes both method and metaphor. Working with textiles as mutable bodies, the group stitches, treats, and reconfigures materials, allowing cosmetic substances and their residues to act upon surfaces - in dripping, seeping, and transforming across processes of accumulation, erosion, and saturation. The work resists the acceleration imposed by patriarchal and capitalist systems, allowing time to stretch and accumulate differently across each body.
Concept.
Echoing the statement that “neither our bodies nor the land are territories of conquest”, the work confronts how patriarchal systems have occupied, formatted, and extracted from the female body - particularly through regimes of beauty, productivity, and visibility. Rather than reproducing these logics, the collective engages in their undoing: displacing control with processes of care, fluidity, respect and transformation.
This installation is designed as sensory experience, mapped out with enough room to allow people to walk through towards the hanging grey fleece egg at the end. This vessel contained a video projection of artists moving with their bodies or obscured body parts as an act of resistance.
To bring a sense of structure, the installation was mapped to a grid of 80x80cm, with specific hanging points per piece. I modelled this on Sketch Up as part of the concept & planning process.
