dry is the title for this series of experiments, these experiments are based within one concept.The idea literally stems from the notion of an 'idea' – seemingly the grounding of any piece of art, an ideal creation in someone’s head.
But at the point of which this idea is communicated, does the ideal transmute?
Is a completely autonomous idea achievable?
The experiments challenge the connotations of the colour white, a colour commonly associated with purity, cleanliness and light. There is specific focus on the action of a performer applying layers of white paint to a surface. The surface is left in a transitional state - dripping and oozing in layers of gloopy white paint. The paint inevitably dries, leaving a protruding abstract and solidified form – a glimpse of expression.
dry questions the space between the barriers of familiarity and association. Perhaps there is a state of originality that we, as humans, cannot comprehend. We are always trying to find the perfect form, the ideal, the new idea – but in reality we are just adding more paint to the wall to, ultimately, dry.
