Rochelle Goldberg: Sun Moon Stars

From chemical interaction to the construction of the social body, Rochelle Goldberg’s material process and conceptual practice regularly examine the varying scales and properties of extraction, contamination, and instability. Extending on these themes using historical wax-working, organic matter, and metal casting, the artist proposes new grammars and symbolic motifs in a sprawling installation titled, Sun Moon Stars. At its cosmic centre is an exploration of the mystique of Mary of Egypt, a composite figure of varied, intersecting histories and narratives of the spiritual, and the extra-mundane.
