“The experience is not just in viewing, but also in remembering and relating the work to the multi-faceted experience of the everyday. After all, nothing can exist in isolation.”
The strategy for creating art / work, will consist of the creation / fabrication / modification of objects / images that can either exist alone, in small groupings, or be expanded into larger, inter relating mixed media installations.
Any material or technique can be employed.
References can come from everywhere and anything, as the work will attempt a visual dissemination of the constructed environments we inhabit.
Any area of social production ( including art ) contains legitimate source material.
These seemingly separate influencing elements are linked by the fact that all the objects / images that surround us, whether from The media, food production, clothing, art or, architecture, are all products of homo faber, and therefore constitute a common cultural experience – “where we are as a society, and how we got here”.
In short, the works will be an attempt to quantify and disseminate the complexity of that which surrounds us.
As with all works of art, interpretation will be dependent on the viewers emotion / experience / memories etc
On the whole, most of the works force us to reassess overlooked aspects of our everyday environment, aspects that we may only register sub consciously. I am interested in how this sub conscious piecemeal absorption of our surroundings is subsequently reinterpreted by our conscious minds, particularly in the narratives we afford seemingly unlinkable elements or events.
