Speed of Life: Bromfield Solo Show 2024
My second solo show at Bromfield! Reception will be on Friday, May 3 at 5pm!
Inspired by David Bowie's album "Low," particularly the track "Speed of Life," which served as a comforting backdrop during the artist's early experiences of parenthood, the show revolves around personal experiences intertwined with musical influences, family dynamics, and professional background. The artwork delves into nostalgia and memory. The artist incorporates various elements from their past, including childhood artifacts and digital remnants, into abstract compositions that serve as a scaffold for navigating the future while honoring the past.
The work is a sincere exploration of vulnerability and self-discovery, reflecting on the artist's transient childhood and the desire to integrate disparate aspects of their identity, including their career as an engineer at Boston Dynamics. Despite initial hesitations about merging technology with traditional media, the artist ventures into incorporating robotics into their art, creating paintings with motors that respond to viewers' presence through basic face detection. This experimentation represents a bold step towards embracing vulnerability and exploring the potential of interactive art, symbolizing the artist's journey towards integration and self-expression.
