"Perceive.identify.archive."
Kristina Sundstrom
August 8 – September 5, 2008
Opening Night Friday 8th August 6pm-9pm

perceive.identify.archive, a time-based installation project examining constructed space, memory and the body. Regular interventions to the space will occur through  a series of two-dimensional screen prints that have been hand shredded and twisted to make three-dimensional thread-like ropes and knots that map events contained within the body. This process of growth and mass represents the temporal relationship with how we perceive, identify and archive sensory information.
The rhythms and patterns that inform the structures of identity and experience are key. The work is premised on the concept that humans receive sensory information through the body as patterns: therefore everything has a pattern. The artist is interested in investigating how these existing patterns build, develop and change over time, and in turn, how they determine our cognitive response to environment by providing parameters for our sense of self and connection to place. While the work references personal history it also investigates peoples need for pattern recognition and manufacture as a means of understanding and controlling their environment.
