The Silent Reverberation of Materiality

Sculptor Dr Gindi is an artist of the elemental, a material thinker who pursues philosophical inquiry through a deep engagement with extra-human sensibility. Attuned to the resonation of material things, she is also a sculptor of words, deploying a distinctive, poetic idiom to elicit the conditions through which something new can be sensed. For Dr Gindi, the artist is a conduit through which the art forces of nature reveal a world in the process of becoming, rendering tangible a thought or sentiment in the process of finding form. Beyond the allure of the enchanting surface she hearkens to the ‘silent reverberation of materiality’ and in sentiments reminiscent of Whitman, speaks in this interview of its utterance. She discusses her ideas and work with Jill Marsden, Professor of Literature and Philosophy, The University of Bolton, UK. She is the author of ‘After Nietzsche: Notes Towards a Philosophy of Ecstasy’ (Palgrave 2002) and assorted essays on Nietzsche, aesthetics, modernism and literary thinking.
