Mutual Arising The notion behind a Mutual Arising is the acknowledgement of a vast complexity that surrounds us at every turn. Humanity has developed a second nature through an industrious process of construction, and yet our built environment is always being challenged by the sublime phenomenon of natural forces. This interplay of what creates boundary and that which tests its porosity is a place we all share. The separation of ourselves and our technologically advanced constructed environment is collapsing. Lines are drawn to contain an understanding of things and to identify boundaries in our self identities, our homes, towns and cities. But simultaneously we are becoming dependent upon communication through conduits of vast information exchange, aestheticized contraptions for movement and are tampering with human genetics. We think we are creating bridges when in fact we're implementing divisions. I believe that the perception of our industriousness is not keeping up with our vision of progress. The complexity of our bounded physical space is being further challenged by our desire to become more fluid in our mobility, our technology, the fluctuation of borders and the heterogeneity of cultures. Space making must conspire with these complex forces at work. I believe that a critical engagement with our world will open a potential to reevaluate the conditions that influence our sense of subjectivity. The paintings are an attempt to register the complexity of how language, images and actions collide and transform one another as a Mutual Arising. |
