It’s been a while since writing on this blog page. This isn’t easy to keep up with writing. I’ve been busy preparing for the Spelman show. Also, trying to keep up with the collective in Paris. Submitted work for the show there.
Conceptual Photos
The photo pieces and experimental films have me thinking of systems of logic and how forms of logic and systems of thought predispose us to particular forms of perception. It is forms of logic and patterns of thinking within this logical system of thought that create the perception of the film plane as a flat space which runs in linear time as opposed to a space with parallel vision. Also, the creation of montage and timed sequences within the filmic frame.
Since the Spelman show, I’ve thought of this in relation to issues of race and gender as well. In 4 black and white photos, the concept or notion of color only exists in relation to it’s polar opposite. There can be no black unless there is white and so on within the color scale. Each color exists in relation to it’s other. In this symbolic construction of language and perception, each color frame defines the next scale of perception.
