ABOUT WORK

TIME - IMAGE - STRUCTURE
‘The artist works like a social worker and their art documents this work. Some artistic activities really develop according to the scenario, in other words the work of art itself cannot go beyond being a moment anymore, it takes part in the artistic activity, it is not the final point, destination of the artistic activity.’
Nicolas Bourriaud ‘Today’s Art Practice’ conference

My working process exploits ‘deconstruction’ to reveal hidden vantage points and ‘reconstruction’ to analysis the evidence – assisting me to form basic value judgments, abstract processes and conceptual frameworks. I am more interested in what something is than what it means.
