Artist Statement
By engaging with Assessment 3 and its approach of experiment led practices, this provided me the opportunity to give rise to new concepts and methods in the generation of original knowledge. The outcomes of this practice were accompanied by documentation of the initial process in comparison to the original.
All three works share a common thread of hands bearing the notion of erasure. Exploring such multifaceted meanings through material practice allowed me to push the boundaries of physical art to engender deeper meanings through each individual work. Engaging with the visual aesthetic of hands has enabled me to evoke stronger responses from the audience, as our hands are essentially the building blocks of life and its absence would result in absolute regression. Through careful consideration, I changed the medium and material of each work to evoke various interpretations and responses from the audience to illustrate the complexity of erasure.
F1 Paradoxes of Paradoxes, explores the pounding duality between creation and destruction. It became conceivable in any form of erasure, however violently destruction, could be seen as constructive in some way. Having a phoenix-like concept permeate through the work provided the opportunity to further develop potential works from its existing form, pushing the boundaries of creative practice in experimentation.
F2 Intangible 1.1, similarly explores the paradoxes within life, however investigates the battle between temporary materialistic pleasures to intangible experiences that are able to transcend through time. Supported with an 18-second time-lapse video accompanied with ice melting sounds serves to remind audiences of the temporary fixture of physical objects, leaving the question – what actually exists if all that we see is temporary?
F3 (____) illustrates the effects of mobile phones in shaping our connections with the outer world. Leaving traces of our most intimate, distinguishable feature of fingerprints evokes the idea of loss, as we are so transfixed to our phones but also illuminates the spread of identity as we provide a personal touch to these technological tools.
