Points of View

In recent works I’ve liked to focus on the things that might be overlooked. To hyper-fixate in a way. Things are zoomed in and mass focused, I’ve been told that it can be hard to immediately digest what it is you’re looking at, despite it being representational. 

Taking inspiration from the idea of a microscope in a way. To abstract the real world into shapes that occupy a field of view by changing the way you’re looking at it. You have to be familiar with microscopy to know or name what you’re seeing, in the same way you have to be familiar with the experience of human life to take in paintings.

I’m trying to take my work to a place where shape and form takes precedence. And the representational side of what you’re seeing becomes intelligible after. I guess I’m trying to place my real life experiences under a sort of microscope. To look at them differently.
