“Case Studies from The Repository for Technological Disorders +Reconstructions from the Hysterical Fringes of the Natural World”
(A body of creative works composed of recycled materials, discards, found objects, hidden jewels + plain old junk.)
I rarely make objects. The majority of my creative efforts to date have been temporal/conceptual, photography, performance, video, audio and Internet works; intangible, immaterial production.
I have however, accumulated lots of assorted ‘stuff’ over the years; roadside discards, thrift store collectibles, high tech scraps, rusting implements, municipal waste, and occasional rare natural gifts found along seldom traveled paths. Spread out in my studio, these random elements come together in new patterns of assembled relationships. With some creative intervention on my part, a number of artworks have taken shape; some gravitating towards inspired simplicity, others laboring in trial and error tedium, before emerging as complex, emotional risk-seeking entities.
These works seem to want to tell stories: histories, comedies, tragedies and etudes; about ancient ways, technology, nature, humanity, waste, war, misunderstanding and the joy of random effects.
Fortunately, all of these “Case Studies” are “Out of Order”.
