Flores

Fall 2022

  • Traces
    Leftovers from past Interactions
    Outlines of existence (presence of life)

    Investigation into visual vocabulary

    Traversing my visual library

    observation and interpretations: distinct visual properties that distinguish a space /  shape, texture, colour, sound

    Observations in nature
    Conditions in nature

    : organic forms , curious flora
    Hot sun and neglect

    Human presence  + Environmental impact

    Speed of repair vs speed of growth

    Corners of the old city

    Construction sites

    Dialectical thinking

    Human ($) influence vs natural forces
    Pruned gardens vs wilderness
    ”Urban decay” vs organic wear

    — earth is reclaiming herself

    Between the cracks in the tile
    And in a time
    somewhere,
    (if possible) between today and tomorrow

    the sand has taken seed

    in a park called Flores

    … While exploring the boundaries of the materials I work with. The principals of art. Exploring media.
    A study in painting (2d forms, flat compositions)

    Provide: clues to the past. (woven/knit) fabric of existence.

    interstices between moments, while hinting at our unfixed position in (this socially constructed) (temporal) space.

    (moon rises and oceans swell)

    Question (to) Understand (to do better)

    where we are going + what is next

    Subsequence: the state of following something, especially as a result or effect.
    Because everything has an effect

    World building
