Residual Haunting, Catherine Bertola

‘Residual Hauntings’ is a triptych of photographs originally commissioned for The Bronte Parsonage Museum, Haworth UK. The images are of the artist enacting domestic rituals and actions performed by the Bronte sisters - as described in written records held at the museum. The actions include pacing around the dining room table, running up and down the stairs and sweeping the kitchen floor. These ghostly vignettes reanimate the spaces of the Parsonage, recreating a sense of the movement that previously filled the room.

Kosinski, Gustafsson, Bertola, Lacey.

Oltre il giardino, di Jerzy Kosinski: decisamente sì. Un semplice giardiniere colpito da amnesia scambiato per un uomo dalla fine saggezza. Una lettura geniale, brillante e intelligente.

Il pomeriggio di un piastrellista, di Lars Gustafsson: nì. Introspettivo, alienante ma comunque godibile.

Romanzo rosa, di Stefania Bertola: sì. Ironico, creativo, brillante, un meta romanzo leggero ma non per questo banale, una “velata” critica all’editoria seriale. È riuscito a farmi desiderare di essere una bibliotecaria 50enne torinese. Indicato nei periodi “vorrei leggere ma non riesco/non so cosa”.

Le risposte, Catherine Lacey: no. Il vuoto cosmico.

Surface matters texture workshop

remnants -fragments - detritis - remains - offcuts -sweepings -leftovers - decayed - broken - layered -burnt -frayed -torn - melted - fractured - rough - polished

Create a series of surfaces and textures, using your photos and drawings as inspiration. 

Use a wide variety of methods and processes to depict surface texture:  the weathering and aging of surfaces, the smooth or coarseness, the spiky or sticky-

painting, wax, stitch, print, rubbings, stenciling, ripping, layering, slashing, pricking, knitting, weaving etc. Make rubbings from different surfaces, and combine together into an image. 

Work on a variety of materials- 

papers, tissue, kitchen roll, fabrics, plastic, tissue, peeled corrugated cardboard. 

You could explore collage, layering and montage in your work, or focus on stitch. You could also incorporate other objects if appropriate- tea bags, coffee papers, string, tassels… 

Take samples out into the environment to photograph- put them in the gutter, pin on fences etc. 

Finally, make a square 15 x15 piece that sums up your experiments- the group will show them all on the wall together.

**Research: Catherine Bertola

Catherine Bertola is an artist I have looked at as part of my research in the past. Bertola works along similar lines to Rachel Whiteread and Cornelia Parker “excavating the landscape and narratives of the past and present, exploring histories through objects, place and recordings” (Bewley, 2005). The artist’s work utilises site-specific locations whereby she attempts to ‘look beyond the surface of everyday objects and buildings to uncover forgotten and invisible histories of places and people’. Bertola is interested in traces which are left behind and markers of time. She often uses material traces that indicate this notion such as dust. An example can be seen in ‘Hearth’ (1999) (see below).In an early work ‘Switched’ (1999) (see below), Bertola created frottage rubbings of 13 light switches in her house. This process is the same as Laszlo Rajk’s, of whom was the sole focus of the drawing event that I attended. An interesting process that explores the notion of trace in simple terms by transforming the phantom of the original object into a new material form.

Hearth, 1999.

Switched, 1999.

Bertola often opts to use old, dilapidated buildings which have obvious signs of wear and are reminiscent of the passage of time. An example of this can be seen in ‘Killing of Time’ (2010) (see below).

Killing of Time, 2010.

Bertola has also been known to use objects within her work; a common theme in the works of artists working with themes of trace, memory and time passing. ‘Bertola explores how time becomes inscribed and materialised through the things around us’ (Contemporary Art Society, no date). Bertola's works themselves are purposely ephemeral and transient due to the nature of the materials she uses, meaning that over time her works will begin to decay and become worn. Bertola’s work is a clear example of a thoroughly thought through practice. She utilises site, material and concept to demonstrate her themes through a minimal and symbolic visual language. Revisiting her work got me thinking again about the function of site in relation to my narrative, particularly in relation to Dylan Trigg’s paper ‘The Place of Trauma: Memory, Hauntings, and the Temporality of Ruin’. It is important to consider the function of the site within both the documentation process and process of experimentation with arranging and curating my sculptures in the space. For me, it feels that the site itself is more a catalyst of thinking through my work and its meaning, the ruin itself being a visual reminder of the ruin of my memory.

Catherine Bertola

Bertola’s work is often in response to rooms and buildings holding historic context. Although she often looks more deeply into the historic role of women, the print on book pages seen above captured my interest - due to them holding the details of the space and documenting their existence by historic film photography. The idea of my clay pressings representing details of the studio space, is a different medium of documenting. 

What I have observed in these prints, how she has used a flame to destroy areas eliminates what previously existed. I find this an interesting idea - perhaps when uninstalling the installation.
