Work Description:
Thesis abstract: I find that veiled and shifting contradictions surface continuously in my life. I can intellectually grasp an historical philosophical delineation of when and how major oppositional shifts in dealing with the world came about. And I experience daily, in the present and in memory, effects and aspects of duality and paradox. In my earlier work. I was obsessed with the relationship between scientific/cartesian thought and a more holistic way of considering the world: I felt compelled to literally exhibit and suggest how these different ways of ‘knowing’ might coexist, but my conception of the two different ways remained categorized and divided. I believe the need to settle complexities into one or even two sides of a duality arises cut of cartesian rationalism and patriarchal culturization. Moreover, it is the hierarchy dominance, or privilege of one side over the other that suffocates the fluctuating balance of distinctions between // I draw upon relationships between the feminine and masculine, fluid and discrete or solid, mind and body, human and natural, interior and exterior. We wander through the formal and material juxtapositions while the interrelationships of associations and categories prolong the struggle to ground oneself amidst vague metaphor. We find absurd domestic/ industrial contraptions, with details familiar to the feminine hand.... elemental transformations leave traces over time: fluids to solids, solids to fluids, seeds to gelatinous suspension to decay, cyclic deliquescence .... Reference to the human is clear, both through the forms of furniture-like objects, and the viscous fluids contained within them. Yet we are left to ponder over the haunting presence, the strange functions, the slow growth of unknown substances. The particular and over-arching references and metaphors are nebulous and we are left to hang in the balance. The paradoxical shifts exist on many levels. We may at times be uncomfortable or fascinated , disturbed or intrigued- the interaction involves a fluctuation of wondering. The conflation of dualities suspends a sense of unknowing, germinating an enigmatic ambiguity that gestates within.
