Sometimes a moment is just a moment, 2015

 

 

Caught between the past and future; programmed by culture and genetics we orientate and organise our lives using underlying stories which are threaded together moment by moment. Catagorising and compartmentalising as we go. Most experiences forgotten before they reach consciousness. Others shoved to the side or remembered with heightened clarity.

Through her work Dare delves into many different but interrelating topics including subjectivity, psychology, identity, time and perspective. Recently she has been occupied with the neurological and biological mechanisms centralised around the implications of being. This has lead the artist in the last couple of years to re-examine the construction of personal narrative.

 

Exhibited in Bankwest Art Prize 2015 at Bankwest Gallery 20 October 2015 – 12 February 2016
