Benjamin Woods, Unimposing Form, essay book, True Belief/Run Artist Run. 135x200 / 84 pages / perfect binding / ISBN 978-0-9756242-1-0. Design/cover by Adam Cruickshank, edited by Abbra Kotlarczyk. Purchase online from True Belief or from selected stockists: Run Artist Run, Alta Forma or ABE Books.

Unimposing Form is an essay book that rethinks the relationship between form and matter in forming practices, including and exceeding sculpture. These essays explore the potential of the work of philosopher and psychoanalyst Luce Irigaray for rethinking forces of sculptural formation through an exploration of the practices of Barbara Hepworth and Lygia Clark. When put into generative dialogue with theory from Jacques Derrida and Suely Rolnik, Irigaray’s conceptualisations of the interval, difference, relation, and affection enable a rethinking of tensions and conventions at play between notions of form and matter.
