Social Frustration
The new work can
be seen as an artistic anthropology in which I explore the expressions and
gestures given by people with in their day-to-day interactions. It is a study
on quick and often automatic responses to a single event. Through a series of
intuitive anxiety drawings and gesturing sculptures, I want to explore the
diversity of making gestures and their meaning within a variety of cultures. These
works are based on the type of everyday anxiety that we as humans bottle up,
and allow to immobilize us into utter frustration. The new work will be about
letting go, letting the world hear and see what we truly feel. It is about what
we wanted to say in the first place, in the moment of the anxiety. Ultimately, I
want the viewer to be able to directly relate to one of the many gestures
expressed by this work.
