Description

Deformations by Sasha Dugdale explores the complex relationships between aesthetics, subjectivity and violence. This collection includes two large-scale works: 'Welfare Handbook', which examines the life and art of Eric Gill through his letters, diaries and notes; and 'Pitysad', a series of fragments drawing on Homer's Odyssey to consider how trauma is disguised and deformed through myth and art. The book also features individual poems that act as a bridge between these two works, examining the creation and destruction of cultural and mythical conventions. Through its lyrical exploration of these themes, Deformations sheds light on the darker aspects of human experience and the ways in which they are reflected in our art and culture. With its unique blend of biographical and mythological narrative, Deformations is a thought-provoking collection that challenges readers to consider the intersections between aesthetics, subjectivity and violence.
