Consistent And Inconsistent Thinking, 2015

Timber, acrylic paint

The sculptures are made from timber discarded by various art schools, assembled to loosely resemble organic growth. The juxtaposition of “consistent and inconsistent thinking” finds its equivalent in the combination of the conceptual rigor and the seemingly unordered assembly. 

 

Residual Work (Invest in uncertainty), 2015
Fog machine, audio
Artificial mist hovers at about knee height above the ground, sometimes wafting higher and filling the entire space. Hidden speakers play a recording of a child’s voice, which is reciting a spell comprising names of one-armed bandits from casinos. The bodiless fog and sound drifting in the air make for an entirely intangible and ephemeral situation.
