Artist Statement
The world is a finely balanced entity. Its elements compliment and contrast, maintaining equilibrium. The preface of Residual #otherworlds is that of an alternate state: the solidity of the sphere marked and punctured by the physical imprint of an imbalanced force. What is seemingly solid and eternal is in reality permeable and fragile, alluding to histories both fabricated and elusive.
These works began as two-dimensional pencil drawings on paper, layered with cut-outs and collaged onto papier-mâché spheres. The drawings render wanderings, markings and observations of the artist’s everyday journeying and geographic ancientry and their entwined imprint. The drawings evolved into globes—evoking the ‘pocket globes’ popular during the age of Britain’s Enlightenment—which rendered an evolving cartographic understanding of the world. Residual #otherworlds acknowledges the multitudinous facets that impact what one considers as their place.
