SOFT SCULPTURES

Soft Sculptures extend Caroline Christie-Coxon’s enquiry into responsive form beyond the painted surface and into three-dimensional space. Flexible, mobile and capable of changing configuration, they resist the fixed monumentality traditionally associated with sculpture.

Rather than holding a singular or permanent form, these works can fold, bend, gather, suspend, collapse and reform. Their physical state remains responsive to gravity, movement, the body and the conditions of the places they encounter.

This adaptability allows the sculptures to move between studio, exhibition space and landscape. Temporarily activated in situ, they enter into relationship with rock, earth, water, wind and scale without seeking to permanently alter or mark the environment.

The Fluid Loops are an evolving expression of this sculptural language. Their circular form retains a connection to the Fluid Loop that first emerged through painting, while their material flexibility allows the loop itself to become unstable, dimensional and responsive — altered by the conditions through which it moves.

Portable and reusable, the Soft Sculptures form part of Christie-Coxon’s low-impact approach to site-responsive practice. Their presence is temporary rather than monumental: they arrive, respond, transform and leave.
