Tuesday – BA/BFA
I have always been drawn towards ‘the other’ and the perception of it, its complexities and absurdities. Fluidity is key to my practice, both conceptually and in methodology. I want to represent spaces and objects that evoke uncertainty in their margins and that are functionally indeterminate. Where everything is submerging or emerging. I’ve been working in this collage/amalgamation way, where I introduce images with specific connotations or symbolic potential.
How they merge and their tension helps create a larger alchemic landscape. The composition abstracting the body into land, the land to liquidity. Additionally, there’s rhythmic method. Each colour, in a painting or drawing, should form a rhythm on canvas.This has resulted in a conceptual land of submergence, where creatures lay in and out of land, isolated in their haze. These dynamics come together in drawings, paintings, ceramics, video and sound. In this terrain, the spillages, in the image, call to the ephemeral significance of a marginal location and the marginalised body. The fundamental indeterminacy of the ‘othered’ experience.
