Borders, Artcite Gallery, Windsor, Ontario, Canada - 2011
Life is a game, as is survival. A game based on the relationship with the world via the intermediary of trial and error, coincidences and intensions. A gesture in the image of our societies that are balancing on the edge between order and chaos.
The exhibition project proposes the idea of transformation, links and movement. A reflective exploration around the notion of the creative process.
Created by elaborating on do-it-yourself constructions, which are references to precarious architecture, I propose a series of works that remind us that architecture is relational, a medium of experiments. A mix of utopia, vestiges and aesthetics, architecture functions on intuition.
Creativity born out of the need to survive, produce something between a sculpture/organic architecture, spontaneous and progressive, a piece of work with accumulative aesthetics, viral and invasive, something that moves from an object to a situation. The installation appears like a mysterious product, like an individual work of unknown origin.
I consider that recycling construction materials is a complementary element to an existing piece. The ideas of landscape and architecture being developed through an accumulative process and appropriation, which indicates an overt attachment to the figure of the home. This has concluded with a fictional plan which will allow the observer to experience the work by way of wandering through the exhibition.
