# Project Description

the House is the Body, the Body is my Home

Nata Hamilton

Summary

Final work

College Camberwell College of Arts

Course MA Fine Art: Sculpture

Graduation year 2025

I work through remembered familial rituals – my Mother’s hand braiding ribbons into my hair, weaving lines that bind and release, small gestures that repeat until they become language. Misremembered Kalocsa motifs, etched into glass, mark absence as presence, memory as a tactile imprint that slips, leaks, persists. The glass becomes a lens – fragile, porous, alive – like the window of my Mother’s kitchen, like the translucent eye. A threshold of seeing and feeling, it curves back into roundness: a gesture of return, a body tracing its own proximity. Charred pine tiles on the wall as both rhythm and residue. The scent, the grain, the fire recalls a house held together by pine, heated, furnished, cooked within. A landscape burnt into memory. Fire here is not ending, but a passage; a repetition, a ceremony, a quiet catharsis of return. These fragments gather into environments where space becomes porous, relational, breathing. Roundness recurs in glass, in gesture, in the circle of breath, like a sculpture of intimacy unfolding with time. A contemplative encounter of home as carried within: suspended, residual, alive.
