"4 CLowns Walk Into A Party..."
This project focuses on the human experience of Disgust. The main theory behind this project is based on the Theory of Discuss written in a collection of documents by Winfried Menninghaus.
The project focuses on characters presented as Clowns as indidual person's experiencing discuss - removing any face to the human reaction.
"Skittles & Clown"
October 2019
This video piece explores the disgusting on a visual level, as Scoulding is dressed as a clown, filling her gob with Skittles to then stick onto a clear acrylic sheet to show her teeth marks and silyva everywhere.
"Dinner Party With a Clown"
October 2019
Scoulding thoroughly documents her work, and this is a great example of a live performance in front of an audience, between herself and 2 participants.
The acts that occur within this piece are a take on what many people find disgusting - poor dinner manners.
"4 CLowns Walk INto a Party..."
December 2019
This is the final artwork which presents Disgust to the audience through visuals, but also with rotting food and overwhelmingly sweet smells when installed at the exhibition.
This piece was made possible thanks to, Rose Hogg, Beth Tompkins and Fern Horton.
