MFA Thesis Show "en(count)ering impossibilities"
Fourth Wall Project, 132 Brookline Ave, Boston
May 16–30, 2013
Reception: May 17, 7–10 pm
en(count)ering impossibilities explores the absurdity of trying to quantify an unquantifiable experience. Derived from multiple instances and memories, the work becomes an accumulation of time, labor, process, memories, marks and numbers. This is inspired by the time the artist spent in physical rehab recovering from motor sensory neuropathy. Every movement that the brain forgot had to be relearned. Every movement was broken down to its smallest bit and then rebuilt. The work then becomes an investigation of larger existential questions.
