TITLE Cultivate


INSTALLATION


ARTIST STATEMENT I exploit Capitalism’s material for colour and signification; transforming the disposable language of the everyday into a rich paint. ‘Cultivate’ is a patch-work-of-signifiers collectively producing a mass of colour which embodies blind consumption, death, destruction, and exploitation. I will be focusing on one colour bleeding into another. The bleeding of colour will represent the poverty and exploitation that is implicit in Capitalism’s essential profit. It has been predicted by the ancient Mayan people that 2012 will be a time for a significant shift in human consciousness. ‘Cultivate’ aims to promote an expansion of the value system; for material and labour to encompass the true debt in human and environmental costs.
