Screech and streak.
Nothingness is still a ‘something’ but it has a particular way of behaving between dimensions that make it difficult to pin, sometimes a cavernous yawning void, sometimes pressing against your skin as it fills a room.

This work serves as skewed memorials of events, subtly twisted by the use of provisional materials, making the outcome contingent on their behaviour. Contingency is a foray into possibility, which is equally geared toward positive as it is negative even though it is more commonly associated with the negative, for example: contingency plans never contain party supplies. In terms of this project, the negative comes from taking an apophatic view, unsaying what something IS in order to leave space for possibility. By resisting a defined path, there is a greater chance to uncover freshness.

Ostinato is Italian for obstinate.
Agnes Varda knows the art of eavesdropping.
Human bodies are 60% water content, not 90%
Nothing is an egg.
