博天堂官方网站领域/艺术焦点

I am interested in ideas concerning the realm of magic. Not the generalized modern term used in conversation today, but the in the sense of the ancient human desire to understand and control the natural world. 起源于咒语, 占卜, 以及通过神话对世界的理解, magic was a way for us to strengthen our relationship with nature, simultaneously delineating our realm as outside that of the natural world. 一旦这条线画好,这种分裂产生了, this sense of longing has perpetuated into our human consciousness even today.

Wound up inside of the perfectly choreographed string of DNA, nestling in each glowing follicle of a laboratory rabbit, residing within every perfectly labeled and named peak and valley in the map of the moon, this same longing is alive and strong in the realm of the modern world today. 在每种情况下, 这些文物成为我们自我的一面镜子, our desires manifest; but as a mirror creates a perfect reflection, one loses sight of the glass and silver that elicit the intriguing apparition, the crude mechanics that effectuate the semblance of the real.

The material qualities and historical context of glass embodies this sense of longing, 一直是魔法的载体, 我们试图通过它来弥合这段距离. The crystal ball, the mirror, yes, but what of the humble window pane? It created a visual connection of the outside world within the comfortable shelter of the home. It rendered nature as a two dimensional field, an outside, a screen.

I see this use of glass as invisible delineation from the elements, a re-creation of the “real”. 培养皿里的原始世界, an uncanny stare of the glass eyes of a taxidermic mount, 审讯室的一面镜子, the relationship I have with my iPhone screen as a means of communication. Our coexistence with glass as a material has allowed us to evolve in a divergent manner. 我们通过中介体验感受到联系. We can create new realities through the delineated, hermetically sealed realm inside of a glass form.

Whether we could even daydream before our coevolution with this material is a large question for me.

My body of work thus far has been investigation of this idea of magic, the simultaneous lightness and heaviness that is created when the imagined is labored into the physical realm. 我是一个博天堂官方收藏家, using indiscretion toward whether fact or fiction; I seam narratives together, manipulating the realness of objects through the malleability of wax reproductions. 我努力重现那些经历过的时刻, or imagined into a physical semblance to be witnessed with others in a mutual reality. 我把我的过程看作是标本剥制师的过程, dissecting and reconstructing found forms into an alternate reality. 它在连接之中, 或者我重新激活的新皮肤, 那只手是显而易见的, that hand that endeavors to manifest creations that can fly on their own, 却又害怕去抓住他们.
