SUSIE THOMAS - WORKS

This performance intends to engage with particular aspects of reality that exist almost entirely in the mind. I mutate my sense of objects and space by inventing collisions with ownership. Ownership I have discovered has develops its own sense of objectivity and I engage in observing it’s limitations or point of departure from being in control to beyond control, transforming and infiltrating other objects, distorting their meaning. Ownership in this context is confined only by limitations of perception, so that everything is possibly subject to it’s conditions.
An aspect of this performance centers on the accumulation and or alteration of sub-atomic space. This process is similar to the way in which our minds accumulate and compartmentalize information, assimilating it into our understanding of the world. In the realm of the abstract however, there are restrictions to be worked within or certain limitations of perception that will only allow things to be broken down so far before they become incomprehensible.
My practice seeks to engage in this tension between thought and material through modalities of representation, the translation of the abstract into definable terms. Because ownership primarily exists in the realm of thought, it is non-material, but as a manifestation it has very real implications within reality. Unconfined by borders and controls, and because it can be so closely aligned with language, it can be said to evolve, and even control our sense of identity, if language precedes our sense of self, ownership becomes the force that determines our subjectivity.
