nexus.

  

My work is concerned with the context of creativity, transition and the future cultural dialogue between fashion, technology and art.  

Opening up the idea of creative escapism. 

  I feel that in contemporary aestheticism, genre is irrelevant, and division is unnecessary in the current creative climate.

  liberation of the creative consciousness from traditional paradigms has allowed a cultural dynamism where ambiguous figures can operate within a tacit creative domain as maverick hybrids.’ 

Who cares what something is labelled under?  it's  about the ideas.

In my work I want to embrace the bodacious, irrespective of its field, by subverting tradition for rule-breaking and technology romance.

Looking at artisan Vs. technology 

Utilizing hijacked technology in conjunction with artisanal hands, traditional visual forms are superseded and articulate relationships between past and future .

A sort of  ‘Future-tive’  way of  moving forward. 'Fabricateing  a technologized environment directly to the surface of the body'

Looking at outsider-ism : and art/fashion nexus. 

Embracing the creative domain as an avenue for articulating a form of maverick hypper-culture,

Aiming to preclude any set ‘constitutes’ and recontextualize practice.

a cross disciplinary pastiche 

Creative figures, such as ; nick  cave, stellark, lucy mcrae, wrecking crew orchestra, Andrew Thomas huang, hussean chalayan , sha sha higby, agata olek, iris van herpen

   Who are embracing an Integration of technology within expanded views on the arts and a sense of abstract innovation,  operating within the ‘ borderlands’.

I feel their freedom in practice debases stereotypes and limitations within genre.

 Avoiding boundaries and genres, seeking to negotiate a contemporary platform for expression and interface within the critical discourses of visual culture.

 Born out of a need to legitimize my work and question my platform, im looking where definition evaders position themselves and straddle the genre lines of past and future conceptions of practice.

 Manifesting the body as a site for artistic inqiry across a wide variation of  settings  to engage in  a reflective dialogue with context.

 its really about a refusal to quantify work as belonging to either art or fashion .

Driving my work through questioning; 

 What role has innovation in Future-tive technology and rise of the contemporary artisan had on expansion of creative classification?

How has an evolution in the contemporary art/fashion nexus recontextualized past and future genre based limitations and allowed a liberation from definition?

How is today’s contemporary climate embracing creative escapism as a tacit creative domain and an avenue for articulating maverick hybrid culture?
