The Strange Weave project developed from an Arts Council research and development award I received in 2019 (report attached). Curator Jeanine Griffin and I worked on this exhibition and research project exploring notions of aura & authenticity in the post-digital context. The selected works circle around the complex relations between the auratic, (Walter Benjamin’s term for the authentic, original artefact, distant and singular in space and time) and the technologically reproduced, edited, dispersed and viewed art object which is more prevalent in the current postdigital period.
I produced new work in the form of a sculptural drawing and a printed series of multiples as well as text pieces. I also exhibited an earlier work, a large drawing entitled "The Art Class".
