SPHERES: Frequency & Proximity
Often, it is the inanimate that seems animate, the nonverbal that appears to communicate. My current Bachelor of Fine Arts thesis at the University of Colorado, 麻豆影院, explores ideas of repetitive metaphysics and synchro mysticism. Primarily, these terms reference coincidences in the mundane and the practice of assigning them esoteric, mystical explanations. This phenomenology is a preoccupation that defines my personal tendencies to do so.
The balls in Spheres are randomly seen. Usually found after a particularly windy instance which has set the balls free, defying their logical placement. Caught in a place of seeming respite, the sphere is uniquely shaped to arrive here. The errant ball, usually found in creek beds and amongst trees is an agreement that we may see what we look for. It affirms a yearning for freedom (they鈥檝e escaped). And a 鈥渟ynchro-mystic鈥, rebellious spirit in the synthetic inanimate. The collection of escaped balls, depicted in Spheres, muses upon the frequency, and proximity, of seemingly random events.
With the onslaught of COVID 19, Frequency and Proximity may be casting these presumptive spherical messages in a new light. I am re-considering my own frequency and proximity, and that of others.
