The sculptural forms that I have created are abstract but with a strong organic character. I am wary of them resembling or imitating anything specific preferring to retain some indefinable mystery. I aim to harness natural forces such as gravity, fluidity and elasticity in such a way that I leave no mark on the surface. I facilitate a process putting together various materials that mutually enhance each other's qualities.

My AA2A access has given me the time and space to pick up the threads of work that I originally started long ago but that I felt had further to go. I returned to experimenting with liquid latex; painting layers on to pipes, testing binding materials such as elastic to determine the ultimate shape of the mould. I adopted a laboratory type approach of recording each batch. Initially I used the familiar casting material of plaster - but gradually in the workshop atmosphere I was encouraged to extend into concrete - a material that I had for a long time wanted to explore.

Each piece has been an experiment: the results a fragile balance between different elements and forces. I pitch one material against another, wrapping, binding, coating, pouring, and testing - quite often to breaking point. One minute I have a smooth natural bulge like a ripe fruit or gourd, the next it has evolved into something visceral and intestinal through manipulation of the fluid form. It is a narrow path between freedom and control. A new aspect has been exploring the way in which two forms nestle and interlock when poured together. Concrete is often viewed as an ugly utilitarian material - but when poured into expanding latex I am able to capture its latent smooth sensuality.

Exhibition news : Victoria Ferrand-Scott's 'Analagous Yielding' was accepted for the Royal Academy of Art's Summer Show, 9th June - 17th August 2008.

Victoria's AA2A story was selected for our digital publication 'Time and Space - Celebrating 10 years of AA2A schemes'.
