For the degree show, I want to have at least one ‘resolved’ work which encompasses the current interests and developments of my practice.
Looking back through the documentation photographs of my artwork, I came to realise a lot about the way I work and what my work communicates. I saw subtle elements of anthropomorphosis to which I was oblivious.
This element alongside the recent development of site specificity in my work have both informed my decision to work with what is present in every generic gallery space; walls, in particular temporary walls. With the degree show work I wanted to distort the gallery space in such a way that it challenges the preconceived perception viewers may have of a gallery space. The aim for the artwork is to direct the audience through the entrance space.
For one of the walls, I planned to have it at an angle resting against the wall and on castor wheels against the floor to cause an illusion of the heavy wall being rested on the small wheels that are, when used in this way, usually very uncontrollable in their movement.
Therefore, I tried experiments on a smaller scale to see how I could make this happen.
