The project ‘Lookout out Mountain was doing all of is Looking at Me’ was an installation that focused on shifting sight-lines within the painted object to offer moments of embodied looking. The work in this installation included dyed muslin drawings, steel, wood, clay, and paper clay objects, as well as small drawings and gouache paintings on paper. The goal was to combine shifting scales from the handheld to the industrial, the painted image to the sculpted object to create temporal differences within the space. This project asked questions such as how can vision spread? How can shifts in materials create unexpected visual and bodily intervals? How do these experiences relate to a hierarchy of seeing and feeling? This project was inspired by the Support/Surface movement in France in the late sixties. This group of artists challenged the role of aesthetic hierarchies in the painted object through the mutability of forms, and focused on the tableau, process, and theory to rethink what a painting practice can be.
