To Have and to Hold
My practice reflects on the headings the desire of touch and the loss of forgetting, moving between forms as I seek to express my key concepts.
My making moves between:
-
use of my own body to explore space through movement, the physicality of the body in occupying space and the daily feats of ability that I take for granted
-
the camera as an investigative tool using long exposures and increased depth of field,
-
mixing digital, handprints and drawing into paint to reflect our movement from virtual to real and back in ways that we barely notice:
-
working in three dimensions as I reflect on what it is to occupy space
-
considering ephemerality in general human terms
And before that:
-
pencil and paper,
Sometimes I feel the pencil moving on my skin
-
use of the camera and scanner to bypass the eyes filter, and also to work with a narrow depth of field
