Sidney Mullis
​@sidney_mullis

Sidney Mullis is a sculptor who makes work about puberty, the intimacy of forgetting, the performance of gender, and the resurrection of childhood selves. 

From her training as a dancer, she is sensitive to how bodies move through space, and the narrow bandwidth in which they can do so safely and without scrutiny. Now, her dance partners are her materials. It is through making that she tries to understand normative values and how systems of authority develop into ‘the way things are’— and, more importantly, to see what they could be.

"I am entirely concerned with the forces of syntropy and coincidental form. These  moments of alignment are not yielded by will and intention alone, but an undercurrent of civil activity; erosion, repair, concurrence and objection. Within the common-space, human activity dissolves its own material pragmatism and engages in the rebuilding process peripherally"
