| STATEMENT |
|
Deceptively imperfect, the large-scale drawings
register the redundant banality of intense low-tech labour,
and are about process within production.
A system of hexagonal building generates potentially infinite
configurations to create a seemingly shifting and indeterminate
space of no fixed dimensions. It is neither micro nor macro;
but an imaginary topography of which I am the author.
With the pixelated texture of a digital print, the paper
becomes an interface, a screen of proliferating particles,
the marks become......net?......web?
Inhabited by disembodied, fragmented subjects which are signified
through reference to architectural mobility - the tent, it
is the geography of everywhere yet nowhere.
Aesthetically arresting the digital print alludes further
towards the notion of community-dirtied clean washing hangs
as private flags, immediate signifier but confused sign, flag
becomes sheet becomes washing becomes shelter becomes architecture
becomes signifier becomes confused sign becomes......
Real place or virtual space referential possibilities abound,
meaningful or nonsensical they are allusive visual propositions
of something we cannot wholly identify. |
