(2003) Dwyer, MikalaThesisTo be able to write about this work I needed to divide it up. This seemed so ironic given that a lot of the work over the years is about the very thing of separating one thing from another. Almost an impossibility, as each work, each object and each space are in a foggy, indefinable way inseparable. For a long time I have worked with a sense of immersion and osmosis in things, in bodies, and in buildings. I have selected nine or so exhibitions done over the past seven years. I have cut them into their own separate scenarios, like different acts in the one play. Many themes continually recur around notions of time, memory, subjectivity, sex, the divided self, vertigo, mutant geometries, TV, theatricality, formalism, minimalism, containment, architectural intervention, the cubby house, objects relations, osmosis, possession, and the curious relationship between the art object and the audience. Always in the making of the work it seemed like one piece bled into another. It has always been difficult for me to find a stopping point. Sometimes it is the simple fact of an exhibition opening to the public, or exhaustion that gives me an endpoint. I think that this comes about through investigating openness as opposed to closure for too long. More recently I have started looking at the idea of limitation. Material, objects and ideas continually recycle themselves from one work to another. They mutate along with the thinking in the process of finding, investigating and making mistakes into happy accidents and then the wonderment of seeing something materialise beside and beyond what you intended. This is what drives the work, the unexpected, the unknowable twists of experience and learning that sometimes an artwork can generate. It is a surrender to an idea that all matter is conscious.
