_these things are necessary and unstoppable actions/reactions to everything that is around me. they are investigations of investigations and take the form of objects, arrangements, performances and videos.
_There is always a meeting place for the virtual and the actual, or for vision and reality. I can see nothing else for me to do than to explore the curiosities that exist within my imagination and insert them back into the actual world.
The resulting investigations are fueled by the desire to see something happen—even if it is simply the action of a force on a material, the attachment of one object to another, or the solidification of cloud shadows moving over a plain. I am curious about this constructed world that we inhabit: the internet, a traffic intersection, our perception of time. When all of these things then collide with the natural world: a horizon that makes the world seem so flat; prismatic jelly fish; subterranean rumbles that find their way from one elephant’s foot to another a huge accumulation of information happens that I am driven to find meaning in. We inhabit a place of extreme density.
Everyday I find myself astounded by how we have managed to create and place ourselves within this world; all of the forces—man-made and natural—that act upon it and that we must exist inside of. Material can so easily be the everyday: the landscape; a ride on a train where you are simultaneously still and moving; the act of getting from one place to another. I document or construct to explain/explore these curiosities.
