In her installations, films and videos, Imogen Stidworthy focuses on aspects of communication. She looks at how language occupies public and private spaces, and uses it in her work as a sculptural material to explore relationships between body, voice and subject. She is interested in how meaning is produced between people, often focusing on people or situations where language is not a given - when something disturbs the connection between a thought and a word, or between one person and another.
