Straddling you, Purging them.
The inability within the studio to create a single work, a masterpiece, the break through, fuels a paradox that motives the next work, in a cat and mouse process. This paradox systematically positions values into some area of undirected dispute, collecting and storing the information. This provides an environment where the work can pick up elements and depose of them as they wish. Making the studio a place of overlap, symmetry and spillage. As the series moves forward so do the paintings as they pillage elements of other works creating an environment of theft.
“How do you deal with the past? Its about a distinction between copying and inventing form. This distinction has nothing to do with weather the form is original because you can invent a form, to look like something that existed. But that really has to do with the process so when you invent a form, based on things that exist, but thats form doesn’t necessarily share the look of these things or the material, cause its new, the question is what does it share? because it feels like it does resonate with these objects that exist? And the answer I came up with is that it has to do with the speech act. That their saying something...and you have to re-interpret.”
As Iman Issa write's her work Common Elements, have the ability to flex the distinction of their own display by manipulating the involuntary speech act of an object. The most successful way to dispute an objects speech is by locating it within a multiple. A second response to disrupting the speech act would be through the partial/fragment. This disruption of the speech act highlights the process in the studio manipulating paintings relationship as both an object and a tool of speech.
The studio work tries to isolate certain, elements or phonetics within the speech acts of objects, patterns and design and present them as fragmented or ineffective speech. The multiplicity shifts the depictive function from descriptive information to a system of variables in the display. Much like how a single playing card displays a singularity but within a deck you engage it within a value system that is its own and can change from game to game. Using visual tricks and devices the layers weave in between one another creating a lattice that is unanimously solid and porous. Such a structure offers flexibility catalysing the sense of the image becoming.
The fragmented speech acts of objects are used to highlight paintings own speech act and with that attempts to challenge the static. The work attempts to shift the perception of portrayal, within painting, from an involuntary act to an exchange system that is dependent on the viewers inclusive relationship with the work as a group. A focus on the shifting mechanism within image construction instead of creating a completely individual visual. The work purges the image of its necessity to portray clarity, in a sense dangling the carrot.
