The motifs are inspired by an archeological article that deals with what is believed to be the earliest discoveries of deliberate art created by humans. In the Tibetan mountains, archaeologists have found handprints dating back 150-250,000 years. The theory is that they have not occurred as a result of normal locomotion, but as a desire to intentionally leave a mark. They were found at what used to be hot springs where the underlying terrain would have cinsisted of clay. Judging by the size of the prints, researchers believe that this was done by children. I like to think that this may have been kids bathing and playing in the warm water and have felt the urge to press their hands into the soft mud and leave behind a sign of their presens.
In my interpretation of these prints, they are made on soft metal radiators, extracted from air conditioners. What would archaeologists say was the purpose behind these prints, would they have been found in a thousand years? For me, art involves curiosity, play and experimentation. Inevitably, this is influenced by the circumstances in which I exsist and the thoughts that occupy me.
Art is an expression of the time we live in. Humans have come to a point in their evolution where they are able to manipulate the material world in countless (and inconceivable) ways to satisfy their needs (and create new needs). We have made ourselves so completely dependent on this technology, for better and for worse, that it has become an extension of ourselves. You may begin to wonder where the boundary goes between our physical body, our thoughts, our essence, and the materials we surround ourselves with. I wonder what those kids were thinking when they left those handprints in the mud.
