GMU:Space Is The Place/projects: Difference between revisions

My working process is as an abstract sculptor, holding materials and moulding them intuitively. Through my work I loot to step outside of pragmatics, daily news and politics and return to a working pattern rooted in intuition, allowing new forms to emerge. I started this semester with concrete ideas, but realised many of them were "one-liners" or time-rooted, connected to this particular moment in time and even more specifically to the current moment in media art production. I hold a romantic belief that my role as an artist is to find "other" ways of looking and sharing. For example, if capitalism draws most of us to produce objects and move in a strong claimingly-forward direction, then I should slow down and look beside me instead of ahead, watching for the tiny details and patterns that exist or searching for other types of motion.

I believe this quote brings up the notion of looking beyond our usual contructs, even towards the essentials of 'time' and 'space'.
