Lumpen is a sensation I experience within my body. Lumpen unearths notions of feminine subjectivity and multiple bodies – the fragmented body, maternal body, the ageing body, the menopausal the body – ultimately the transforming body. The insomnia body. My teenage children sleep deeply, what if I inhaled their sleep particles trapped within the pillows which would put me to sleep. Initially, the pillow stuffing formed the substance of Lumpen. The individual elements are manipulated through a multitude of touch.
