Proposal : A Publication,
Title : Hand held: portable, compact translation.
Deirdre Dowley : 14th - 30th March 2012
PROPOSAL
“I find stuff, anything, everything and what this stuff has in common is that nobody wants it.
It’s the left over leftovers, discarded objects not fit for a bin because if they were I wouldn't find them.
I especially covet objects from arterial economic highways along which I travel. Objects that have been altered by random acts of violence or abuse like the wheels of commerce rolling over drinks cans and animals, the space and life punched out, extinguished, flattened, ripped and torn.
This work is about giving a voice to silence, the minority, marginalized, discarded, voiceless leftovers of lives, my life, ruled by consumption and alienation.”
From September 2011 through to February 2012 I have been engaged in a
process of collecting discarded throwaway leftover detritus and assembling and re assembling them in Studio 11. I have kept an on going photographic record of each and every stage as it has transformed from a 2/d wall hung collage/ assemblage into a fragmented towering 3/d structure.
PLAN
For the publication I would like to use the opportunity to create a collage using 35mm negative framework, photographs and txt to give an impression of the process and feelings I associate with the work.
