Meatology (working title)
WhereDoiComeFrom.WhatMi.WhereMiGoingThere is something very empowering in the ability to say: idontknow while feeling like I have done nothing wrong.
Looking into connecting my own dots through observing everything and everyone around.
My research is a constant never ending process: itest
As myart is a very spatial case; property
becomes a commodity. This is where relationships get tested: meateography gets
mapped.
Meatology becomes theArt of everything: In
the ancient classic Greek world, the biggest sin of them all, was cannibalism.
Zeus all mighty, would rage when he saw people engaging in it.

Thinking about Process Art:
Process combines the concept
and feeling of the artist towards space. Arguably, this definition of process
involves nearly all art practices today. However, I think process art
differentiates from other practices, through the intentional and purposeful
action to collaborate with space. Conventionally, the retinal approach to art
creation instigated its own private language, that delved into the emotional
innards of the artist, distancing dialogue with the actual space the artwork
was presented. This action repressed the social/political exploration of space,
promoting a romanticised notion of the artist as genius, that supported
omnipotent perspective art -
closing the viewer into the beholder's grasp. Without the loss of the
expressive, primal “touch” of the artist, process artists used materials that express
a bodily character creating anti-illusionary work that acknowledged itself
within its predetermined space. I feel retinal tendencies are still present
today and close the connections between concept, expression and space that I
feel is imperative to provoke thought.
As artist today I feel process
art is an extension of the body positioned to critique places within space. I
feel that process art can be a powerful tool to critique the power exerted over
the body by societal/economic structures. My work reflects a desire for
transparency, a need to see more deeply beyond image and illusions, values that
I feel stem from process art.

I think of 'process' as a collaboration
between thought and space. Thought occurs in someone's mind and it transforms
into physical form when it is realised in actual space. This happens in all art-making (and in
life generally) in some form, but 'process
art' is when an artist's thought is specifically designed to give agency as
much to the contingencies of the
'rolling-out' process in actual space, as to that design.

never achieving a perceived goal or perfection
everchanging / fluid
can be a bodily, physical process that needs to be carried out
honesty
constant interchange
desire
movement
being unattached to a particular outcome
