A body of 9 artworks, completed over the course of two years for the International Baccalaureate Higher Level Visual Arts program.
More than anything, it was an excuse for me to, as best I could, experiment with new mediums. Thermal paper, soap, and found objects coloured this period of my life, alongside many late nights ideating, researching, and making.
I don't create as much art nowadays, but I follow essentially the same practice when coding.
I can't say I remember exactly what I was trying to achieve with this body of work. And honestly, reading the old curatorial rationale now, I'm not sure I knew back then either. But I feel the last line from the rationale sums up the exhibition well enough:
...rather, the emphasis is on how anyone is able to use, transform and manipulate any given [medium, style, subject matter, etc.] to grant old narratives new meaning. The exhibition therefore implores the audience to similarly find and reinvigorate their own sense of curiosity within their own lives, which I find important in our increasingly hustle-and-bustle society.
