ARTIST STATEMENT
Time as a construct governs a large portion of our life. From the two thirds that we are awake, we march along within our responsibilities - only to repeat the cycle. Yet, how often do we stop to embrace what is in front of us? Perhaps it is good to take a kneel – to slow down - and embrace reality without concern to time. To step back within a reality where technology has integrated within our life, slowly adapting and changing. My artwork conveys the interconnection of time and technology through a mixture of digital animation, cardboard and computer parts.
ARTWORK PROCESS
Overall, I intended for my artwork to connect the concept of technology and time. In my animation I included things like destruction and movement to display the flow of time – such as an eaten apple core slowly regrowing and glass un-shattering.
For the display, I chose to incorporate a cardboard-made ‘analogue’ TV to symbolise how technology has been in our lives from a young, child-like age. As well as basing it off an old CTR TV to create a sense of being outdated or old.
Through the use of suspended computer hardware, I wanted it to seem like time stopped
