UC San Diego

This text corresponds to a body of work that was developed at the University of California, San Diego with the intent to have a selection of objects exhibited together in the Main Gallery of the Visual Arts department. The exhibition was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This text is thus independent of the unrealized exhibition and solely focuses on the work as a series of object-types that were conceived of at the University of California, San Diego. The body of work is divided into four series of object-types; Windows, Blocks, Portals, and Columns. The artworks presented utilize sculpture, installation, and photography and engage with the mold and the camera as base frameworks for how each object-type was produced. This text is divided into three sections: Objects, Frameworks, and Influences. In the Objects section, object-types are discussed in terms of their visual presentation, qualities, conditions, and orientations. This section directly focuses on each object-type. In the Frameworks section, the text focuses on philosophical and historical content that were conceptual considerations that helped to develop this body of work. Finally, in the Influences section, the text focuses on concepts, artworks, and sites that helped to influence the development of a between. This text does not justify or validate the work in any capacity, nor does it explain the work or how it may be experienced by an individual.
