Contingency and Infinity-PhD Project

The PhD research begins with a question about the ‘Real’ and the constituent elements that comprise the Real: space, time and and experience. The work is a speculation about the way we frame, and describe our perceptions. These re-presentations are themselves embedded and interwoven within the fabric of their subject and are therefore always relative and contingent. The work turns about itself: the object is the subject of the work and the subject becomes the object. The very nature of the project - Being in relation to Becoming- means that the work is always propositional: conjectural rather than definitive. Formally the work seeks to elaborate ideas traditionally found in painting, about pictorial space, representation and interpretation, and extends them through references to architecture, cinema and literature into the language of contemporary visual discourse with all its composite materials and complex methodologies.
