A life project can mean a multitude of things depending on the subject it is orchestrated within.
A live project in fine art can at its most fundamental mean that the artisan chooses to create work directly in front of the audience, using both space and time. Rather than creating an object of an environment for the audience to admire, a live project can come into the actual moment of encounter between the artisan and the spectator. Even if the audience are not physically present, which due to current circumstances may be so, the artist will set up a situation in which the audience experience the work, and the notion of presence.
However, though the above statement does narrate the makings of a literal live art project, a live project to me is indulging with the audience. I don't want the viewer to gander aboard my exhibition, I want to hold participatory events and opportunities, sensory stimulation tables filled with tactile impressions and paintings, smells and sounds of the environment connoting toward the painting or print displayed in view of the audience. A live project to me is living within the art piece, experiencing the work rather than simply looking at it.
My work questions our relationship with perspective and documents the stories of those with a visual impairment, I endeavour to cater to all senses in order to establish no bounds, art should be inclusive, not democratic in that only a select few can see and navigate the works, instead everyone is welcome to investigate and enquire, a hands on experience. No restrictions.
