Connectivity

Abstract

Connectivity is an exploration of confluence between the practice of painting and fibre arts. Through the shared material language of these established disciplines I seek to highlight both the act of making and the viewing experience, whereby sensory awareness and wonder may be evoked. My art practice addresses how, in the remaking and reweaving of materials, it is possible to discover new meaning and connections. This is often manifested in the elusive transformation of space and time, where every action has consequence and every thing, significance. Defined as slowness, the work in my exhibition offers the viewer a form of temporality that points to the complex and layered nature of time as we encounter it daily. Connectivity explores the growing permeability and networks made between the realms of art, craft and digital processes while emphasizing good workmanship and the marking of time.
