Celia Pym
Process and ways of recording activities are central to her work. The holes in people's clothes, the stories that accompany them; repairing these holes and returning the mended garments are all represented in her approach. She is finding ways to represent the spaces the body occupies, the tenderness of touch and the ways of going about daily life. United Kingdom.
