considering a new abstract

Art is in nature, as nature is an art. This interdisciplinary installation project examines the relationship betwen nature and art in aim to re connect people to nature. It questions if additional installation objects are a reqirum to draw interest, or can naturally occurring objects speak on their own? Possibilities of viewer interaction is explored. Would a new experience of art and nature change the present lost link to nature?

4/9 Ailment

4/9 Latest exploration, Untitled

4/9 the irony

Over this year, the computer and internet has played a critical role in my practice, research, and online communication with other classmates & leaders. Used for assignments, filing and storage of documentation and photographs, minor image editing (cropping, levels, layout), communication -including analysis with peers, online contextual research including other artists, poets, writers, philosophers, and theory linked to my central aims and objectives of a disconnection to nature. I am on the computer at least 3 times every day. However, as the year has progressed, and more time is spent trudging through a flat screen, reading, hunting, ordering, getting lost, finding, opening, closing, saving, filing, staring at a flat -senseless screen, the less I want to open the flat sideways lying, cursor blinking, plastic buttoned, overheating, texture-less, senseless 'book'.


I want reality. I want dry paper between my fingers, an isle of real books, I want a pencil and a rubber (eraser thank you very much;), a highlighter, a walk, the wind, the scents, the glare, objects and their potential for allegory.


My research into a disconnection with nature, has lead me from once being a regular Gen Y computer/internet user, into a

Computer crashed. How appropriate.
