Blurring the Boundaries is an assemblage of written text, visual imagery, sound, noise, artifacts, ephemera and gloss. This includes Just as I Remember: Remembrances, Fragments and Projections, Just as I Remember: Text (Part 1-3), Assembly K/No/w/W/Here & K/No/w/Thing, Polaroid Documentation and Ephemera, and Thesis Panels 3, 2 and 1.

Each component can be viewed as a singular work or as part of an assembled, labyrinthine 'elusive' whole.

This 'elusiveness' is located in the content and form of the work; in its openness to interpretation and refusal to be conclusively defined. This is facilitated by deliberate withholding, obliqueness, misdirection and fragmentation; in the transgressions and entanglements generated between narrative, figurative, abstract and material forms; further complicated by an array of references, allusions, and resonances c/sited, consciously and unconsciously, within and between the assembled works and in the generative processes used to realise them.

As these fragmentary interconnected components are encountered throughout the exhibition they might be viewed, read, heard, traversed and appraised in any number of ways - perhaps as a puzzle, maze, or mystery that might be decoded, plotted out, solved and re/solved into any shape, pattern or form depending on your evolving responses to its shifting blurred boundaries.
