SHREDS IN SPACE
This work consists of shredded water bottle container weaved together with a synthetic twine and stretched on a house like metal structure, measuring 720cm x 260cm x 260cm in a space. The original idea behind this work is to create a structure that will house my exhibited works, thereby saving money and providing me with a free exhibition space that will give people the opportunity to view my works from an advantageous perspective and position. To further elaborate on this, the purpose of shredding office paper is to protect or destroy information for security reasons whether personal or corporate we experience a feeling of comfort in knowing that the shredded information is safe. This comfort owes its place to the apparent belief that the destroyed information would become irretrievable, especially to those who do not already know, even when it is reassembled by one means or the other. Often the method of discard is of no consequence to the disposer especially. As a result these shreds easily find space lying and littering our environments. Ultimately I am engaged in exploring and addressing the nuances of this spatial conflict, this war of space between us and our discarded materials.
