The last couple of days has been about adding and subtracting, a constant changing narrative. Links made and unmade. Enjoying working instinctively rather than having some sort of pre-justification. Have been doing a lot of visual research and running, giving my mind time to wander. The pile of chalk, which was my last act of today, links several of the pieces giving a circularity to the overall installation.
Through installation, expanded sculpture, photography and film and sometimes pseudo-scientific experiments, I am trying to create a dialogue between space and place using interventions and interruptions as part of a site-specificity that explores in-between spaces, inside and outside, nowhere and somewhere. I use temporary, ephemeral and provisional interruptions, to locate, re-locate and re-contextualise territory referencing what has been, what is or what could be, the past, the present and the future and where it intersects with the human relationship. They often refer to incidental happenings that create a transformation of objects. The notion of absence, as possibility rather than lack, is an underlying theme within the concepts of territory, whether historical, political, geographical, cultural as well as how it is colonized, altered, used and navigated and, relating to this, place and placelessness.Â
