Author Description

2022 sees the 100th anniversary of the publishing of James Joyce's <b>Ulysses</b>, Matilde's favourite book. As an act of honouring the author and his creativity, the artist humbly uses <b>Ulysses</b>' structure and correspondences (a story of looking for a father and finding your way home) as her own frame on which to create this piece. You will find the same number of episodes and titles, similar hints, planned mistakes, parallels, questioning, parodies and Pindaric flights, and many references to music, movies, history, people, books, authors, food, religion, and analysis, all assisting in presenting the artist's searching for "the father", as the Other. <p>This work has been presented as the final piece for the Degree Show at York St John University for the author's BA in Fine Art, in June 2022. The piece was originally recorded and played over a speaker. This is the original text now in written format and the image on its cover is a photograph of the installation. <p>The audio original version can be found on her website.
