Emerging from an interest in Pop Culture’s ability to reinforce social constructs and influence the way we perceive reality, this work plays with layers of fact/fiction and re-enactment; using wellknown cultural tropes as a familiar, uncanny narrative entry point. Scenographic language, and genre specific aesthetics are used to create surreal moments and collapse time. These artists use uncontrollable materials, performing bodies and organic matter–hoping to challenge themselves and their audience by inviting all to break down structures and question the truths that are being held to be self evident…
