Sitting out of time, in the mind's garden.

‘Sitting out of time, in the mind’s garden’ is a photographic series distinguished by the realisation of the death drive and temporality of existence. A space that conclusively shows our eternal battle that binds the curiosity and sense of what meaning the mortal and immortal sphere hold to each other. Turning to the realm of mortals explicitly shows the active experiences of honing understanding, an introjection that one is subjected to unexpectedly; and a terrain that is fragile in being surmounted and complex as at times it can hurt to become, to let go of what has once been. Undoubtably, my practice defines this relationship between reality and the imaginative landscape - using creative mediums as a vehicle to implement a way of understanding but simultaneously escaping from one to the other. A dizzying and disorientating realm, as life is mapped and we learn to understand the capacity of both acquiring and losing form - fixed and firm vs fluid and fluctuating - a mechanism of placement that lends oneself to the unknown and portrayal of how power invests itself within bodies, constantly moving, saturating, situated in a time-warp of the infinitely large but also the infinitely small. Distortion and abstraction are at the forefront of my practice, a tool I am using to release my audience from the restrictions of the reality setting rather than to alienate, as I want them to be immersed within the omnipotence of escapism. To be exposed to intellectual uncertainty and the repressed thought of not needing or rather not being condoned to having a direction, ‘unashamedly the only reality that exists, is sometimes in your head, sitting out of time, in the mind’s garden’.
