FINAL DAY of Moving Materials Exhibition, March 2024, Ignite Gallery West, Toronto. Photographed by lo bil.
This series of photos documents an accumulation of material movements that visitors to the gallery made. I posted a few earlier photos of the Plant Condo sculpture at the top to show how the iterationse evolved from initial conditions in the gallery.

“Becoming Fun: finding the sweet spot through incomplete design”
This paper will be presented at the 2024 CADN Graduate Student Conference, The F-Word: Fun, Agency, and Creativity as a Life Ethic.
The conference will be held on Saturday, March 9th and Sunday, March 10th, from 10AM-4PM at OCAD University’s Rosalie Sharp Pavilion in Toronto, Ontario. My paper will be presented at 11:30am on March 9th.
This will be in tandem with my thesis exhibition Moving Materials: A Question of Form, running from March 9-13th in OCADU's Ignite Gallery at 200 McCaul Street, 2nd floor.
ABSTRACT
An upcoming artist talk on how fun has played a pivotal role in my process of transitioning from embodied performance toward making sculptural works wherein the live body is not the focus of the work. I define fun as a surprising and pleasurable energy flow that happens between myself and my materials, myself and my environment, or myself and other people.
How does fun play into this process of transition? In utilizing clown-informed strategies for years, I have learned that TRYING to have fun is a sure way to NOT experience fun. So I call in the potentiality in an “alter-objective way": by focusing on the pleasure of following intuitive movements in relation to my materials, fun just happens.
For my November 2023 research exhibition entitled “Moving Materials," I asked visitors if they were open to me tracing their physical outline on a 6-foot cardboard panel, as a kind of citation - a record of their presence in the exhibition. It became an intimate moment of giggly conversation as I combed through their aura with this squeaky marker smell.
When do we get to lie down in a gallery and meet a stranger in this way? What made them feel it would be a fun thing to do? In the porous confession of my work's incompleteness, viewers seem to feel the invitation to intervene, and we collapse the distance between artwork and viewer. In this lack of conscious design, we go somewhere unexpected together and it feels like fun.
Photos to follow relate to the exhibition that I will speak about in the conference talk.
