| In
my working processes, water and self come together as mutually arising
participants in open-ended encounters of indeterminacy. A 'language'
of indexical marks emerge from water communing with matter, from ash
to pixel. Sites are 'liminal', from a dripping tap, to a wave, to
self, thus taking the paper or digital ground to be analogical skin.
These places of uncertainty and transformation give the investigation
a metaphorical undertow, involving inner and outer states of being.
There is a blurring of boundaries, collapsing of identity, and collisions
of opposites, which seem chiasmatically interconnected. By the closeness/distance being articulated, the span poignantly measures the separation. Each becomes a temporal act of celebration yet resonates with imminent loss. Paper works of gathered traces of a particular rain shower float away from the walls, in raw non-compliance as raking light reveals a skin-like fragility. A wave is projected as if breaching the dry preconceptions of the inside of a room under the stiff skirting board. The indeterminacy of outcome for work (and self) provides a potent metaphor for the abandonment of preconception in favour of an active and fluid interaction with moment: 'I long for your fluidity… I must listen well to learn your liquid voice' (Luce Irigaray: Marine Lover of Friedrich Nietzsche). www.axisweb.org - susie david |
