Bleach Those Tongues: Dystopian Assemblages

8 July 2021 — 7 August 2021Hillsboro Fine Art, Dublin, Ireland

A sculptural installation combining bronze, latex, mythological architectures and apotropaic symbols, BITCH FALCON – APPARATUS reflects Cecilia Bullo’s engagement with material processes, research, and conceptual inquiry. Loosely referencing aerial entities across cultures, such as the Harpies and the Morrígan, the work explores themes of rituals and ecofeminism. A mano fica amulet, is encased under a shroud of latex, as an esoteric gesture of resistance. The bronze portrait of a peregrine falcon, cast using the cire perdue process, was shaped through months of real life observation from wildlife rescue centres and from taxidermy studies at the Natural History Museum of Ireland.
