hope fall / Exploring the destabilisation of the present moment through material poetics and installation practice.
In this object-based installation, I aim to present a site of precarity and instability, drawing on conceptual ideas from New Materialism, Phenomenology and Minimalism. Here the inherent qualities of a disparate range of materials and objects provide fertile ground for embodying tension, interplay and a multiplicity of layered meanings.
In hope fall, I’m exploring the destabilisation of the present moment via multiplicities, interminglings and entanglements. These interactions occur between the formal characteristics of Minimalism, and the psychologically charged nature of my material combinations. The installation is aiming to set up tensions between; the organic and the synthetic, the stable and the dynamic, the fragmented and the whole, the fragile and the toxic, the ephemeral or fluid and the solid. There is a deliberate interplay between the scale and positioning of the objects in space, intending to arrive at a balanced yet precarious display. One which encourages viewers to move around the works in space and encounter them physically.
I am drawn to slowly unfolding, multiple meanings. By combining materials and objects I am looking for activations exploring fluidity and relational complexity within installation practice. With this complexity comes unexpected moments of discovery, beyond the symbolic and the calculable.
