Conditions of Discourse
Commingling different moments from my personal history, this diptych places curator Kitty Scott and art historian Steven Harris at the centre of the pair of paintings. Conditions of Discourse explores autoethnographically, through the act of painting, the difference between discourse about art and discourse as art that emerges at sites beyond exhibition spaces and, in my own narrative, through my embodied phenomenological experiences with painting.
