Frame in Flux
My work aims to examine the physical and conceptual properties of a window, first put forward in my thesis Frame in Flux. In it, I examine how the window stands as a metaphor for how one engages with the inside and outside world. An aperture, a portal, a prism, a divider, a connector, a living membrane; when considered, the window can embody seemingly infinite modalities, in turn compounding the ways it can be observed ad infinitum. My work unpacks that observation by offering different ways to look at the same thing. I have done this by weaving different mediums to the core of this thesis, hoping to inspire different feelings about the same thing depending on perspective. My ongoing labor over this project is indicative of the ouroboric nature of this concept.
Frame in Flux consists of three distinctive elements: A hand-tufted carpet hanging from the ceiling that both obstructs and compliments the window beyond it, a plexiglass box frame, and a crystalline ball supported by a silver pedestal. These elements are scattered around the room, thereby offering three different perspectives.
