Siobhán Curtis’ practice explores consciousness as an embodied and metaphysical phenomenon, investigating how intangible states of awareness can be translated into material and visual form. The research draws upon the philosophies of Carl Jung, René Descartes, Heraclitus, Taoist thought, and Hermetic principles, alongside contemporary discussions of social conditioning and cultural hegemony. These frameworks provide a foundation for examining the relationship between individual awareness and the wider structures that influence human experience. Central to the practice is the concept that consciousness emerges through the perpetual flux of opposing forces, viewing life as a dance in-between. Material inquiry serves as a means of exploring the relationships between the visible and invisible, matter and energy, and form and perception. Cymatic processes visualise sound as sacred geometry, revealing underlying structures of vibration and interconnectedness. Similarly, long- exposure performance photography uses light to trace the body's movement through space, rendering kinetic energy visible and suggesting forms of awareness that extend beyond the limits of physical perception. Leather is employed as a metaphorical extension of skin, evoking embodiment, while metal references alchemical processes of transformation and transmutation. The body functions as both a physical site and conceptual framework through which consciousness is experienced and expressed. Through interdisciplinary material investigation, the work seeks to create encounters that invite reflection on awareness, interconnectedness, and the complexities of human existence.
