~~~ PUG ~~~
Pug is an emerging multidisciplinary artist from Djillang/Geelong, Australia currently living and working Naarm/Melbourne.
His practice revolves around three pillars that exist in unity)(no hierarchy
| - SPATIAL PRACTICE - | | - SOUND SCULPTURE
Re-imagine scavenged materials and found objects into ritualistic spatial experiences, utilising interactions and performance to activate the work. Deep listening, mythopoeia, world building, and the potential of sound and material transformation hopes to provoke meditative, archaeological and speculative thought. -
|| - MARK MAKING - TWO DIMENSIONAL WORK - |
Calligraphic abstractions, glyphic formations, chromatic play, material agency and colour theory combine - INTUITION - live painting - freeform and expression - This pillar is all about channelling the subconscious through the act of painting and drawing____
||| - DEEP CURIOSITY - LAND + EN\/IRONMENT - ||| … dig dig. dig
Investigate the world and see everything with curiosity and openness : put the body and the mind in situations where it must adapt {{{{{{ ALIGNMENT WITH THE UNIVERSE }}}}}}}} - listen to the earth - _ respond accordingly.
I respectfully acknowledge the Wathaurong Clans as the sovereign people of the land I was born on, and the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung language group as the sovereign people of the lands I live and work on. These lands have never been ceded. Treaty NOW.
