Over the past couple of decades we have the breaking down of René Descartes assumption "I think therefore I am" as we move into object orientated world, where no longer is the human at the center of the universe.
We no see our self as a some what dysfunctional part of the earths ecosystem, with the beginning of the Anthropocene around the 1980's there was a collective reassessment of our role in this ecosystem, now in 2019 the effects of climate change and unfettered capitalism as real impact on the way our culture in adapting, I think the grass root moments such as permaculture,environmentalism and social Justice orientated Anarchism are outcomes for this re-contextualization into a field of equal objects.
And so as an Artist how does this perspective change the way I bring Objects into the world, (if that is even what I am doing I'm really bring different raw materials into different contexts and states, nothing comes from no where) when I younger and I made art that wasn't purposeful I would tel those around me that my sub-conscious brain made it, its interesting contextualizing that against the assumption i have today that my work is phenomenological and my body is merely as reflective space from which raw materials can pass through and become identifiable to the viewer as a contextualized object in there living environment, and so the object then becomes a product of its environment rather then a product of my hands sprouting out of my singular vision.
