Visual art exhibitions and events with a platform for critical writing

propose ... What ever your personal take on the word, I would like you to propose something to me, anything... a theory, an idea, a colaboration, something you want to have a discussion about - it doesn't even have to be art based...
Stripped to it's barest, my work is about humanness and I make work to explore the experience of being human. I am interested in the gap that is created between desire and reality and how we function within it. Exploring the contradictions and distortions that seep into everyday life through our thoughts and actions. I use unusual thought connections and peculiar bodily sensations to provide me with a nucleus to build my work around.
