Inventing Spaces
​(2018-Current)
 


Invented Space (May-June 2018)
Here and Now: Converging Histories. University Art Gallery. Mandeville Center, UC San Diego

Large, kinetic instillation featuring painted canvases and projected digital drawings. 
Invented Space. Here/Now Converging Histories (Undergraduate Art Show). July 2018. Material: 5 panels of oil painted canvas, digital drawing over photograph, projection, fans. Dimensions: 144in. x 240in. x 360in. Description: Installation incorporates five painted canvases to act as permeable architecture. The projections display digital drawings over manipulated photograph of the surface area. The four separate projections limit the viewer's ability to differentiate between what is painted and what is superficially imposed on the surface.

​126 Broken Studies (March 2018)
Potential Images. Kamil Gallery. San Diego, CA

126 Broken Studies (5 ft wide x 14 ft high) is inspired by the study of hemispheric neglect- which is a common and disabling condition following brain damage in which patients fail to be aware of items to one side of space. The studies on this condition produce drawings that display a disconnect between the portions of the drawing that are completed by the patient’s hand, and the image the patient sees in their head.
​
126 Broken Studies recreate the messy, highly expressionistic drawing of these flowers and fills in the information with digital drawing projected back onto the plane. The distance and unfilled information are used to replicate the notion of the subconsciousness and the blank spots in perception.


127 Studies. Potential Images. Kamil Gallery. February, 2018. Material: Oil paint on canvas, digital drawing over photograph, projection. Dimensions: 144in. x 48in. Description: Painted canvas panel suspended from the ceiling in the center of the room. Painted portions reflect images produced from studies on hemispheric neglect. The projection is used to replicate the notion of subconsciousness intervention.

​Corner Space (February 2018)

For this piece I wanted to start to look at the external world as a physical space for a body to inhabit and not just the surface of the canvas like the previous work. To do this I created a corner that introduced a sense of architecture within the work that pushes the edges of the work into an inhabitable space. The projection also works to disorientate the perception of this space by reflecting an image of the corner but from a different angle, giving the work a geometry that seems to fight against itself. The best instance of this is shown in the angle that is represented in the top center of the work: the angle of the material is concave whereas the projection shows the angle as convex. The two competing angles have a way of creating a distance between themselves that gives off the illusion of a closed space directly in front of the work.
