@ocula.art “On the opening of her solo show Home Body (6 October–17 December 2022) at Pilar Corrias, Self spoke with Ocula from her studio in New Haven, Connecticut, about the focus of her practice and her daily routine in the studio. With a commitment to figuration, she is delving further into an exploration of the body and its parallels with domestic space.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ This is embodied in Self's newest public artwork Seated, commissioned by Avant Arte. Gracing London's Coal Drops Yard is the artist's largest sculpture to date: a large, painted bronze statue of an elegant Black woman dressed head-to-toe in pale yellow, and seated upon an ornate turquoise chair.⁣ ⁣ Self's exhibition across Pilar Corrias' gallery spaces on Savile Row and Eastcastle Street in London will feature a range of large-scale paintings, works on paper, furniture, and sculpture. The show, Make Room, is a continuation of Self's European debut at Le Consortium in Dijon, on view until 22 January 2023. “
