statement

My work explores the absurdity of trying to quantify an unquantifiable experience. Derived from multiple instances and memories, the work becomes an accumulation of time, labour, process, memories, marks and numbers. This is inspired by the time spent in physical rehab recovering from motor sensory neuropathy. Every movement that the brain forgot had to be relearnt. Every movement was broken down to its smallest bit and then rebuilt. The work then becomes an investigation of larger existential questions.
