Wooloo spoke to Whitney about her work:
- How would you describe your artistic practice?
Although the physical structure of each project varies – installation, sculpture, photography, drawings, performance, video - I am interested in exploring aspects of containment, control, boundaries and messy intersections. Formally driving the work are sculptural issues of material, space, and the relationship to the body.
- Can you give us an example of a work of yours that you are especially happy with?
I'm always most excited about the piece that's coming up next.
- What inspires you to create your work?
The desire to get something out of my head and into physical space.
- Has the internet had an effect on your practice as an artist? And if yes, in what way?
Less slides, more emails.
- How long have you been using WOOLOO.ORG and why do you find I useful?
Five years? Great to have a platform to show new work/exhibitions.
