"...Because reality is so clangingly real sometimes." (quote from Stalking the Trace that I showed at The Zabludowicz Collection this time last year)
It's strange in an uncanny way because this installation and the VR work at its core dealt so much with how to maintain a center when things feel chaotic and horrifying. The curator, Maitreyi Maheshwari in the introduction text said "increasingly precarious present" and I've been thinking about that so often these days...
Right now, making art feels like a type of psychological metabolism for coping with those feelings for me. That's all I have; things feel loud and delicate.
