abstract particulars

Abstract Particulars is a body of work that attempts to make connections between the unknown character of nature and the desire to understand who we are.

Through Western culture's push for freedom, and consumption, we seem to be losing our desire to question and love? Through this intentional activity we move closer to environmental disaster, in what seems like a futile attempt to eliminate that which forces us to recognise our own failings.

Using the constructed medium of text to create diss-ease between the viewer and desire, Abstract Particulars is a site of uneasy contemplation. Landscape becomes our ‘uncertainty’ when questioning notions of humanity, spirituality and death.
