New work featured exclusively on Antidote’s online platform and Artsy.net

10 Limited Editions of each work are made available on the platform.

Temporary Deformations is a series of digital renderings which brings forth fiber glitches embedded within desert rock landscapes. Introducing these glitches implies a moving body that emerges from the cracks of a rigid boundary. It brings agency and movement to the rocks which emulate an illusion of stillness, yet truly they are in constant movement. The medium further echoes this notion. The movement of formations is dictated within the context of the photograph in relation to the friction generated by moving fiber images, challenging restriction. When viewing the work the definition of bodily motions with distinct expressions is projected on the rocks. Fiber layers enable a seamless disruption of the compressions. Distorting the reality of a still landscape. The work indicates that the illusion of a state of stability is about to fall before the viewers eyes. The desert landscape elicits unknowns and insecurities; thus we’d rather hallucinate a familiar reality governed by stagnant pre-conditionings veiled in the name of traditions which we have yet to shed. Stagnants states of perception are like being caught between a rock and a hard place. This stagnation manifests in how we perceive women’s bodies and their extensions. To disrupt these perceptions, our bodies have to seep between the cracks to carve pathways of resistance, reclamation and agency.
