Completed Tower #2 this weekend.
Part of research and work developed to document processes and games created to measure the passage of time. Such play is informed from limited materials such as those hand-carried and those within the landscape – rocks, trees, vegetation, paths, e.t.c. The work is framed through seriousness, the mundane, nonsense, failure and success.
Kim Walker is a Scottish artist working with sound, video, installation and new media. She gained her MFA in Studio from SAIC (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and her BA (Hons) Time Based Art from DJCAD (Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design). Through my art practice, I seek to understand pathos, our personal experiences and how we interact with rules and each other. I am interested in the intimate spaces we create that exist between human beings, such as temporary spaces that exist when we play games. My work explores spoken and unspoken words, intakes of breath, reactions to specific experiences and situations, internalisation of thoughts and what we choose to present of ourselves to the outside world.
