Curator Review

‘There is no future: just possibilities’.

Her own analysis touches on a physically timeless world: like her triptych, an inter-vector cascade, where duration is simply relative wavelength, and where consciousness is ascension from squashed turbulence to the peace of elevation, as higher dimensional views map lower dimensional structure, and calm the claustrophobic strife of the plane. By living this process in ‘Discontinuity’, Mod Art shares with us its endless euphoria. Jonathan Graham

Awarded a prize at the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo Da Vinci . Milan, Italy April 20, 2022

“We risk at this moment of discontinuity becoming shadow puppets -- our shapes and movements could be dictated by forces outside ourselves, themselves a product of a fourth industrial revolution. The key to being self-directed is to observe the possibilities embedded in each discontinuity and to choose the path towards Light and Transcendence.” MOD-Art
