Atomize

Remaindered postcards of Milton Keynes, with punched holes, hung like a rain cloud, 3m², with the punched drops on the floor below.

This piece resonates with several ideas that resurface regularly in my work: place; the relationship of narratives to reality; categorization as a kind of atomization subverting reality; cognition creating, and limiting our experience of, reality; and ideas from physics about dimensions that are not accessible to us in our current reality.

I’m never quite sure how helpful it actually is offering these explanations — explaining my art always feels like hard work! And in fact, like most of my work, it’s primal, it’s about making you feel unsettled, connected to something you thought you could explain, prodding something beyond narratives.
