'What Novelty is Worth that Sweet Monotony?' Is the product of exploring the resonance of vulnerability through the lens of my own lived experience. Capturing intimate vignettes that speak to the dichotomies surrounding the feeling of being known. Looking to words and a loss for words, language and silence, comforting and confronting, I come to understand my own personal histories with the act of being perceived. Employing the use of monoprinted text, slide projection and found objects, the exhibition creates a pocket of nuance that invites its viewers to consider their relationship with vulnerability while discovering what it means to the artist. Viewing the work as a whole or taking time to peer closer to the subtitles that answer some questions and pose others. The work communes in the form of a small, fossilised shark tooth that sits at the crux of the project. A physical manifestation of the feeling of being known and an homage to the project's beginnings. The shark tooth grounds the more nebulous concepts in the ever personal and sentimental.
