Modular with Hawkins Headquarters
Running through a course of trial and error is an integral part of any artist's process to uncover moments where approach can be rearranged, reinterpreted, and adapted. The installation serves as a visual aid for the place that exists between decision and result. Built up of (52) 9” x 12” panels, the structure itself expounds on a system devised of building blocks which can each embody a facet of thought. As a whole, the ensemble of rudimentary shapes has the ability to shift and arrange themselves in various compositions; living in a state of perpetual motion. Paint application is completed with a glazing technique, thin coats of transparent acrylic nuzzling themselves into the form they inhabit. This depth of color creates an undulation with the shapes lifted off of the wall, creating an area where contradiction is present. Outlining a structure of contrast to allow each shape to live on their own while conforming to the abided system.
Module System (1-12)
Serving as individual modules for the transformative installations, these drawings invite contemplation of the nuanced. A grid framework is the back-bone providing both stability and flexibility for the woven structure to exist. This departure from flat to dimensional by dividing a line in 2 is the first sign of a modular system beginning to expand space and opportunity. Furthermore allowing the negative space to be equally considered as it latches on and presents itself on the same plane.
