| The short version: I am working with fragments, with the edges of things and what they suggest about systems (psychological or physical / natural or constructed) - edges bring the work closer to gaps where binaries collapse/blur/integrate/oscillate - where ambiguity may reveal truth. The long version: Formally, I work with painting, drawing, still image, video and sound to build interactive and non-interactive art installations. My current work attempts to blur or break down the psychological and social boundaries that are constructed in order to function within a system; a system that is often comprised of partial realities. In the process of approaching the collapse of these boundaries, the work is also approaching a state of ambiguity where conventional binaries such as subject and object, knowable and unknowable and rational and irrational are challenged. I explore ambiguity in my work as a means to subvert the borders of psychological and social comfort zones. I hope that the individual is awaken by the confrontation and becomes aware if only briefly of an integrated reality. Research interests include literature, systems theory, psychoanalytic theory and sound. |
