About this artwork
Instead of cutting to reveal a flat surface, as Lucio Fontana did, I am 'tying' us to the surface through 'replicating' marks. By starting with a curled-up sheet instead of a flat one, the expressive mark-making takes on different dimensional qualities. This approach aims to convey the movement and dynamic nature of contemporary life. Once unfurled, the markings on the sheet celebrate the interconnectedness of modern existence through their strong…
relationships. Consequently, one expression appears as two markings, created by a multiplication of itself, or as a singular assertion that is closely related. This relationship compels us to perceive a 2D world defined by the connections between the marks. The mirror behind, also displaying replicating marks, reinforces this idea. This non-linear journey challenges our preconceived notions and invites deep contemplation of nature and its processes.

« Membrane Art is a doorway to endless possibilities. It’s heavily dependent upon the geometric surface which underpins it, and until it's unraveled, we are blind to all possible outcomes. »
My father is profoundly deaf, and my mother is deaf and blind. Although I am able-bodied and possess painting and drawing skills, I make an artistic choice not to execute my art conventionally. I produce my art with limited visual input to achieve my artistic objectives. Painting on curved structures enables me to do this. It is a blind process that enables me to explore chance outcomes and discover complete aesthetic images. I learn from these experiences and am obligated to accept outcomes that may not be aesthetically correct, but I must tolerate them. It is who I am, and it is the only way I feel authentic to my upbringing. It reflects my interactions with the world.
This body of work, which explores the enigmatic boundary between the present and the future, from the tension inherent in a curved surface to the tranquillity of a flat plane, it invites us on a transformative, non-linear journey, encouraging deeper contemplation and meditation on our observations.
