Davina Semo's 2019 bronze bell sculpture 'IT IS HARD, SHE SAID, TO IMAGINE THE WORLD AS IT WAS' documented

Davina Semo created a patinated cast bronze bell sculpture in 2019 titled "IT IS HARD, SHE SAID, 'TO IMAGINE THE WORLD AS IT WAS.'" The work incorporates whipped nylon line, a wooden clapper, powder-coated chain, aluminum bale (TABOO), and hardware, with overall dimensions that can vary. Photographer Pierre Le Hors captured an image of the piece, which was shared courtesy of Marlborough gallery. This documentation was posted on artcritical.com on Tuesday, February 26th, 2019 at 12:42 am. The sculpture's materials and variable installation possibilities reflect Semo's exploration of industrial materials and sensory experience. The work's title suggests a meditation on memory and perception of reality. Marlborough gallery's involvement indicates institutional support for Semo's practice. The photographic documentation by Le Hors provides visual access to this sculptural work. The piece exists as a physical object that can be installed in different configurations. Its posting on an art criticism website marks its entry into contemporary art discourse.
