Abstract

This art project explores issues of unoccupied space. In particular, the project concerns itself with temporal aspects of site and issues of past, present and potential usage. This space, otherwise inert, invites activation by the spectator's psychological projections. This projected occupation calls on redolence of the past, memory and a sense of the utility of the site. Based on imagery evidence and personal remembered experience, the spectator provides context for this site. The project uses the painting process to open up areas of sensibility around personal and remembered experience. The thesis is constituted as practice-based work, 80%, accompanied by an exegesis, 20%.
