We need a thesis statement for our show. This is my proposal.
Strange Contraptions (*rough draft*)
We imagine and we conceive, yet at times our ideas may stray so far from our original intention that it may morph and evolve well beyond the fringes of "normalcy." How much does our attitude of "play" contribute to our art making, and how far can we go when we lose ourselves in reverie? Strange Contraptions examines the superfluous narrative of construction, as in a Rube Goldberg machine--the visual layers, or strategies, that make up a process. The work(s) in this exhibition carry the attitude and aesthetic of complexity over simplicity regarding design, and communicates to the viewer the raw and inventive motion of our streaming imagination.
