I’m slipping into the role nicely. Like a slim lady’s finger, a hand sliding into a tight leather glove. New kid.

 

Rebecca Gould’s practice ranges from assemblage, video and textiles, dealing with concepts of labour, capital and daily rituals. The sense of history of the object, by uprooting it from the proper place in time, removes it from its origins; history evaporates and condenses into another – modifying the value of the object by a ritualistic methodology of time, place and memory. Gould studied BA Fine Art, University of Wales, Cardiff and MA Fine Art, Central Saint Martins, London. In 2016 Gould co-founded STUDIO CYBI with Iwan Lewis, an artist-run projects www.studiocybi.com She is now based on an island off North Wales.
