Cleanse
Bradley Foisset, USA-Singapore
As an artist, I explore the constructed dichotomy between man and nature. My recent work employs materials that are taken from the land and rivers of Singapore that are being eroded and destroyed. In Cleanse, I disrupt the hierarchy between what is considered man-made and organic. Bringing different materials together, I challenge the concept of nature as divorced from culture, and seek to propose a non-hierarchical and interconnected relationship between them. Through strategies of appropriation, juxtaposition and projection, my methods characteristically involve marginalized techniques, and the remaining sediments are later transformed in my practice into what I propose is a “passive-aggressive landscape”. This area helps situate my practice to engage dark ecological philosophies and American cultural traditions; the schism between how we perceive these landscapes and how objects react to them is fraught with suspicion.
