I AM BC I SAY I AM

Located in the artist studio behind a viewing window obstructed by plastic shields and locked behind closed doors. Audio levels only loud enough to be perceptible when leaned into.

We are living in a spectacle driven society where screens are giving unprecedented access.  In this application the screens are a portal between the child and the adult - transmitting intentional words across time and space in an evolutionary upgrade. The healing power of art. What right of access does an audience have to these private moments of healing for the artist? Particularly when ‘art’, what can be considered art, and how we view art, has previously been determined by an exclusionary elite.

Here there is a conscious level of access given, shared through a deliberate boundary around what is public and private space, public art and private practice. The images are the earliest and latest passport photos - identities. The colours are symbolic. The words are private.
