Brighton’s Arty: Uncanny emotions at Corridor Gallery

Got a German dictionary to hand? No worries, let me define ‘Unheimlich’ for you. It’s an adjective with three meanings: ‘weird, uncanny’; ‘familiar, yet unfamiliar’; and finally ‘concealed, out of sight’. It’s also the title of Holly Rozier’s new installation at the Corridor Gallery from 1 June.
If you haven’t experienced Holly’s incredible soft sculptures at the Open Studios on the seafront then expect to experience simultaneous delight and repulsion. She describes this special site-specific show as: “A range of different scale anthropomorphic forms that look less ‘human’ than ever, dealing with much more undeniably unifying and universally ‘human’ emotions than I have ever explored before.”
Roughly translated that means you will be awed by the way this artist transforms everyday fabrics – twisting, shaping, dyeing and embellishing them – into forms that evoke a sense of internal organs and unseen elements of the human form. Until 3 July.
