Trish Scott Statement

 

My practice is investigative and involves putting everyday processes to the test. Through repetition, duration and persistence I reveal and critique the constructed norms and values of everyday life.

Like a malfunctioning machine I labour over pointless tasks, apply rigorous processes to incongruous situations and pursue simple actions to their (il)logical conclusions. My work is an absurd form of rationalised irrationality.

The projects I carry out are generally site specific and context driven: I operate across different locations using onsite exploration as a means of generating work. Though generally performative my work also takes the form of videos, objects and text.
