Calf’s work is characterized by a distinctive, absorbing materiality, its surfaces functioning as a kind of index or register of presence or effort. They relate to the constant pressing and stroking of touch-screens, and to a persistent material, mental or physical searching or cultivation. The artist’s approach of making work under several different names brings additional layers to a practice occupied by notions of authorship, classification and identity, particularly in relationship to the pursuit of idealized states of being.
