'Distortion in motion' is a participatory exhibition focused around the unusual figurative distortions created through a series of sustained movements. By working with unconventional portraiture and the imagination, I aim to enlighten realities surreal moments and minimise the ordinary. Through a materialistic approach, the work is a shared experience between the artist and the viewer, utilising the perceptions of each individual. While distortion of the natural face is manipulated through a series of controlled natural movements, the design and composition of the installations work to encourage viewers to create their own experience through an unrestricted field of vision. The three separate installations, 'Layers,' 'Water' and 'Mind,' are designed to show three different ways of viewing, that further enhance the distortions through the viewers motions, giving each piece individuality. With a subliminal meaning of creating a dysmorphic image relating to an abnormal difference in body structure, the distorted portraits put the viewers in a situation where it allows them to see through a dysmorphic eye.
Never ending 'Layers' of motion, magnified reflections of 'Water' and illusions triggered by the power of the 'Mind,' all simultaneously convey a personal experience.
My interest for intricate detail of precision and perfection towards the creative use of mixed media, leads to my ability of the careful construction of two and three dimensional installations. I have a great passion towards hands-on making which I believe will allow me to follow a productive career in the creative industry.
