VCA ART 2022

Sorcha Mackenzie

Master of Contemporary Art

I create speculative architectural assemblages, realised through digital maquettes to create structures that function as caricatures of architecture. I transform these assemblages from their digital state into analogue through historically traditional mediums of production, including printmaking and sculpture. The result of these transmutations are ambivalent assemblages and images which embody futuristic utopian monuments, or ominous idols of dystopia.
