A list of artists, galleries and curators who have featured in Floorr
“I certainly need a hug right now but a hug never lasts as long as I need it to. Take me back to the womb, shield me from all the chaos and nightmares!”
“There can be great relief in imagining oneself as an object, not as a form of dehumanization, but as a strategy of sidestepping the essentializing pressures that come with being a subject.”
“A work feels resolved when the materials settle into a kind of internal logic. At that point nothing more needs to be added or removed, and the structure feels both inevitable and improbable at the same time.”
“Uncertainty is what allows the work to move; without it, a painting can only arrive where you already expected it to.”
“The action of walking is removed from its usual function. It is left suspended in an absurd repetition without progression.”
“These performative acts allow the body to blend into the object and the object into the body, dissolving boundaries and merging into unfamiliar territories.”
“The image remains a state and shows a moment full of possibilities that cannot be completely resolved.”
“I’ve always been intrigued by things that are soothing and disquieting at the same time.”
“Sound penetrates directly beyond (rational) interpretation; it is experiential, self-narrating, and largely self-explanatory.”
"We sought to strike a balance between it being quite avant-garde but also maintaining a human element that would encourage people to stay in the space."
"I hope the sculptures provoke a sense of uncanny liveliness, an impression that they might breathe, shift, or activate themselves at any moment."
“My fascination with mythology is something I can’t quite control. I’m drawn to the way myths hover over the real world like a layer of mist, always more beautiful, more seductive than what we call ‘reality.’”
“Icons I am drawn to are not to intentionally provoke for shock value but to observe our own preconceived judgements and prejudices.”
"The screen represents the essential, yet rapidly dissolving, boundary between the physical self and the digital framework of contemporary culture."
“The absurd becomes a tool to access something emotional but indirect - a crooked route to honesty.”
“Using character allows me to create distance; it acts as a lens that reveals belief systems and behaviours that once felt completely normal but now appear strange or unsettling.”
“My interest becomes about ‘how’ rather than ‘how well’ something has been made; it gives me an indifference towards right and wrong.”
“I am very content with a polyvalent practice; it is a blessing to continue being surprised by where an idea leads to.”
“My surfaces feel layered and weathered because I want them to look and feel like they went through something to get here. Because that’s been my life.”
“I’m drawn to the intersection of the spiritual and the natural because I’m interested in capturing moments that feel both fleeting and timeless.”
