Anxieties of multiplicity: mobilising representation in contemporary spatial practice

With process and materiality as subject and content, this project works through the changing and intertextual nature of contemporaneous meaning making under late-capitalism. The project makes use of common wooden materials such as pine, MDF, and plywood to support an object- and installation-based practice. Through the social relations of materiality and visibility of process, the physical outcomes promote the multiplicities of our intertextual contemporaneity while maintaining a physical grounding in the reality of everyday lived experiences. Different combinations of mimetic and embodied representation are used to express the narratives of each work, bringing forth in varied ways the themes and politics of the project. The often-divergent expressions of representation are intuitive of my lived experience and acknowledge the agency of the viewer in forming their own opinions in a changing intertextual context.
