Terms of Endearment | Olivia Asher

Terms of Endearment considers how intimacy is shaped through language that both reveals and avoids. Using clay and text, the work explores emotional residue, repetition, and the labour of holding what cannot be resolved. Connected forms share one body, offering a physical logic to emotional experience—shared, fluid, difficult to contain. Text appears as declaration, deflection and confession. Memory is carried through touch and material presence, allowing vulnerability to surface without explanation.
