The Natural History of the Senses, Hearing.





         This piece was meant to evoke a certain level of anxiety among the viewers, the piece was essentially a a portion of the art building being walled up, leaving only a little glimpse of what remained inside, a fabricated hallway. The viewer was meant to then become aware of the Fluorescent buzzing in the background and the anticipation of whats next.

Dweller, The inspiration, Aokigahara, The Suicide Forest, The Appalichian Mountains

        Most of my work is mainly inspired by two places the Appalachian Mountains and the Aokigahara Forest of japan, aka the Suicide Forest. Both of these places have birthed various entities into our realm, These places are old, and deep, often steeped in histories we are not aware of. This is where the origin of the Dweller resides within these deep woods. She is the being who oversees those lost within the woods, the scavengers that clean bones, and the deep woods. The Dweller is a being of isolation, and wandering within the woods.

Dweller

             Dweller is a tale of one finding home in the oddest places, the piece is meant to show isolation in populated areas, leaving behind the vagueness of adventure, what the adventurer has left behind. The totems hanging around are meant to ward, yet invite the viewer. The smells of the place are an ode to the forest it came from the original dwelling of this thing, who is it?











Inspiration for Dwellest/Dweller, HP LoveCraft.



                 HP Lovecraft's works have always inspired my work, often his focus is the lack of definition of the problem and the lack of resolution that excite my mind. His entities are often an enigma to us living their own lives and devastating ours, things outside of our realm of reality. I enjoy applying these ideas to my own character minus the devastation and hard hits to your sanity.

Inspiration for Dwellest/Dweller, Fischli and Weiss



           First inspiration to the piece Dwellest would probably be Fischli and Weiss, i recently became infatuated with their style and the way the conducted their videos. They would in various forms portray ordinary moments such as the conception of Albert Einstein or the slow succession of objects knocking down other objects. All of these rely on a lack of narrative becoming imminently immersed within the subject matter, not knowing the reason for them being their, or what will continue to motivate them to be their.

Dwellest.



https://youtu.be/jd0hB6cEUBM

 Dig a hole Dwellest, homesteading in a suburban wilderness. The point of the piece is to show the lack of conflict there is no beginning nor end, no climax when to tell you the ride is over. Yet the dwellest in all of her simplicity must find a way to coexist with the people who made her. She's not the deity you wanted, she is the deity you need.
