Interview: Simone Slee on sculpture, vulnerability and failure

For Simone Slee the perfect sculpture is the sculpture that ‘fails’. These failures come in many guises; sometimes her works are left to the fallibility of humans, cucumbers and rocks. At other times Slee’s sculptures fail by toppling over, as weight and gravity eventually exert their influence. At the heart of these failures is an ongoing interest in the nature and the parameters of sculpture.

In our conversation Slee talks about the nature of sculpture, as well as questions of failure, help and vulnerability.
