Co-Inhabited, 2018
Artist Statement
The series was inspired by a fight during the breakup of my pervious relationship with a musician. He said that he would just be “some expensive art on someones wall” to which I replied “well I’ll just be some bitch in a song”. These words inspired this series of Twelve works which has become my break up album to him. Twelve is important as it is the average number of tracks on an album while the works themselves have through serendipity approximate the size of CD’s. Cracks in the works were allowed as a refection of my own pain at the time and a pun relating to the “breakup”. The scenes explore how every space seems haunted after someone leaves. They attempt to draw a person through absence rather than the figure. The works fed into my Masters and its exploration of place’s ability to act as a vessel for memory.
