Joe Moss – MA/MFA
I am a contemporary artist and trained mosaicist working across media, mainly sculpture and video.
I like to bring together different fictional registers to get to a sense of the strangeness of how reality works. For example, bringing together streetwear and high fantasy, or seeing how literary characters and their legacy struggle in our contemporary context. My core techniques include choreographed video, and assemblages of contemporary material and noise from the internet alongside craft techniques.
I see these confusing and overlaid fictional registers as ever present- as much a part of the contemporary stream of constant information as materials themselves. I invite the audience to see this as well, and recognise that our experiences of time and self are changing.
