How To Fold A Grid
How to Fold a Grid explores the body, object, and thing in relation to the grid. It explores the use of the grid as an orientation and disorientation device. It discusses the elements of the grid: point; line; square; cube by referring to queer theory, Object Oriented Ontology, the physics of time a...

| description | How to Fold a Grid explores the body, object, and thing in relation to the grid. It explores the use of the grid as an orientation and disorientation device. It discusses the elements of the grid: point; line; square; cube by referring to queer theory, Object Oriented Ontology, the physics of time and cartesian geometry The artist (the body) navigates these themes through paper folding, sculpting, making marks, as well as collecting and arranging found objects. There is a particular focus on a repetitive and modular process of making. The works interrogate a distortion and manipulation of the grid. This engagement acts as a mechanism of allowing the artist to orient themselves through practice while also querying the binaries imposed by the object subject divide in relation to the structural hierarchies imposed on queer bodies by the social matrix that defines the “norm”. |
