A NICCA is born out of the idea of negative space. Drawing from quotidian objects, manufactured and organic found, I'm interested in retaining the impression of the original thing, transforming it into something else, pointing to the idea of origin.
The works develop from traditional art mediums, painting, sculpture, photography, and installation, intermingling their formal structures and creating open edges and fragment- forms.
Boundaries are spatial. In fragmenting them, I'm interested in how permutations create new perspectives. The subject of the work signals itself, referencing coming into being or becoming. Becoming what?
Introspectively, the work starts from various organic actions (activity, gesture) performed from the reverse side, mostly in plaster, pigments, paints, resin, and wax, such as pouring, stratifying, imprinting, tearing, pulling, and building.
These gestures-findings are then collected like records and structured with geometries, open frames, and spatial relationships, creating improvised compositions among works and with the exhibition space's architecture.
