30.06.11: Room 2: Unknown
" I believe that the pure visual images,geometrical/abstract,
My aim is carrying sculpture beyond the appearance of the physical world, through new concepts of space, colour,and light, to imagine realms that are spiritual. With this work I am experimenting the matter of unknown: the incomprehensible, extraterrestrial things...
"Unknown" is an experiment about mind, a meditative mood and trance. It aims to open a space in the minds and reach to the secret /unknown part of the human, to get closer to the spiritual/ inner world.Simply it is a search for thoughtlessness and the immaterial world, to the essence."

GOOD GREIF is an ongoing investigation into the processes that deal with loss and grieving as an attempt to regain a sense of control and ownership of the self. The installation aims to open up notions of societal resistance surrounding the actuality of death and explores the personal experience of human grieving in its stages through aggressive, cathartic, comedic and masochistic measures. These drunken performative rituals are symbolic of the devices or acts that one conjures in order to reconstruct life after death, enabling oneself to keep kickin' on 'n up the dust.
