Description/Abstract:

The questions surrounding notions of boundaries are increasingly becoming more publicly contested particularly in the context of a constant change of geopolitics, the environment and of course technology. In these fast-changing experiences dominated by considerable speed, our understanding and perhaps our experience of the concept of a boundary are becoming ever more blurred. This practice led research project interrogates the perceived understanding of what deemed to be a boundary, which functions as a delineation of the same object, either side differentiated by the line that defines them. The research question is: How boundaries being redefined in the context of identity. The project will consist of 7m x 2.8m, 3mm thick overlapping porcelain glazed titles of 40cm x 40cm each (112 tiles in total). An imaginary new world order is drawn, demarcated by complex and overlapping black lines creating regions, territories defined by fields of red and white glazing. This image of a world map lookalike constructs an illusion that is intended to test our perception and the deterioration of potential segregation.

In addition to the relationship between the symbolism presented through colours and lines, the construct of the map is pertain to hysterical, natural and structural forces that are at play within a given space and it’s the connection to temporality.
