"Marks"
A meaningful, understandable, sensible, communicable mark makes an impression on the surface, a place, a mind, a body or any other material capable of containing it while being all those things it is contained on. Marks remain as those inscriptions decoded into visuals, both virtual and tactile conceptions of variable connotations ascribing themselves into an unbound metaphorical glimpses. These are sometime forgotten, misplaced, overlooked, misunderstood and devalued under various circumstances of human attempts in promoting, advancing and developing a unique understanding of existence. Marks are those instances which stand by themselves to evaluate and identify the being.
The infrastructure of recognition prevailing in the representational forms is thus given a rational understanding to declare and confess the surrendering of ones soul and spiritual existence. Be it life or non-life what we suppose as death, relates very much to the marks left behind- some to exist as memories and others as visual-tactile elements of identifications.
Again we enter into the system of logic and perceptual dialogues to loosen the tied ends of the imagined bonds, which is invariably attached to cognitive forces that lie deep beneath the layers of consciousness. This earthly manifestation of human existence is once evaluated with the relative intelligence of both human and supernatural/extraterrestrial concepts of existence. The discourses of mark making a human and in turn a human making a mark is brought back into a curious exercise and experimentation.
The mark exists between the swing of life and death and sometimes beyond. The perceptual elements are mended into visual thoughts, overlapping the conventional understanding of marks with those which are manipulated as ‘new’ and abstract representations. What lies beneath is more significant than what appears, while at the same time the significant is camouflaged with the fresh marks.
The excavation of the content is fulfilled with the enlightenment of the visible, without which the comparisons to identify the real get a bit obscure. It is to see what is unseen…it is to read what is not visible….it is to imagine what does not exist….it is to give form to what has happened but was never known. This is to establish a common ground with a single idea and to draw attention to all possible visual elements, where things exist with different and variable connotations.
