I'm interested in the ability
of a material or object to teeter at once between
being familiar and different, between seemly
precarious and comfortable: the curiosity of
materials existing in a space of being both what
they are and what they are not.
"Sleep Tight" speaks about the
idea that our common associations with cotton are in
its usage as a durable material, to service, to wrap
and protect: here cotton is wrapped instead:
peaceful, fragile and vulnerable.
"Eggs All at Once was
inspired by a conversation with a friend about
inducing not one egg, but many at once to ovulate in
one cycle.
The drawings and paintings
have to do with my curiosity about what it is that's
so compelling about mimetic exactitude.
Through relativity, placement and balance, these
forms create an environment of artificial status.
They consciously use the customary visual cues to
suggest 3-dimentionality on a
2-dimentional surface but at the same time also
deliberately reiterating that flatness of the
picture plane. |
