THE STRUCTURES WITHIN
An exhibition of 12 limited edition and one off digital prints
October, 1st - 31st, 2023
Opening Reception:
Saturday, October 7th, 6-9pm
In my journey with clay, I find myself deeply immersed in the malleable nature of my craft, constantly shaping and reshaping ideas and forms. A process that mirrors the greater algorithmic dance, I believe, we unknowingly participate in, extending from our sustenance to the systems that structure our lives.
The collection of 12 digital prints here captures a mental landscape that traverses the tumultuous period from mid-Covid to the present day. These images of vulnerability are a chronicle of my journey through this transformative era.
I've arrived at these images through a unique compression of time and the careful management of place. However, only some things I wished to capture through my lens could be framed. In those instances, I've turned to a sequence of words, phrases, and thoughts generated with an AI calculator. Testament to the strange turn of events brought about by COVID and my exploration of new tools.
The unexpected intersection of Covid-induced vulnerability, the employment of unfamiliar technological tools, and my artistic expression have left me feeling exposed, deconstructed, and paradoxically imploding, I am a wanderer in search of a home amidst a discombobulated world. Through my work, I aim to unravel the enigmatic interplay between the tangible and the algorithmic, inviting viewers to contemplate the complex tapestry of our existence within a system that often operates beyond our control.
