“Grief has been an enduring presence in my life. As a child it seemed simple. She who I lost, I grieved. But time only serves to deepen the complexities of familial bonds and carries with it the immovable reality of death. The finality of lost potential holds a primal sadness.
For decades I have explored the fine line between profound communion and violation that we discover in the fullest experience of connection to Nature. So why does it still come as a shock to me when Nature brings the end of things? Safe inside my home with those I love, I try to remember that this precarious balance that feels like comfort is finite and might change at any moment. I try to remember every detail.” – Claire Morgan
This intimate, artist-initiated presentation of deeply personal new work coincides with Basel’s international art week, marking the culmination of a 3-month residency at Stiftung Bartels Fondation. ‘Choke’ dismantles the intellectual narratives we construct to distance ourselves from natural cycles, offering a poignant reminder that humans are animals, in all their frailty and beauty.
