I Can Hear Your Dirt
The boundaries between fiction:reality, presentation:representation, participant:spectator, converge as the viewer’s own histories, associations, anxieties are shared with the installation. I Can Hear Your Dirt is a narrative installation comprised of miniature sculptures and their larger scaled cross-sections . Through the use of coding and LEDs time is both slowed-down and suspended.The viewer is able to fantasize themselves within this fictional life while still grounded by the residual familiarity puckishly creeping its way throughout work. The voyeur slowly becomes the voyee corrupting the relationship between the individual and the work creating a disorienting space of connection and estrangement in which a shared portraiture can take place.
