Artist Statement for Jeremiah Reeves
|
|
|
The aesthetic experience for me is religious and I often refer to my work as such. It is how I make sense of my everyday world; organize my anxiety into existential meaning. For me, this happens through performance...the performance of art making. Through a medium, I translate the action of lived experience. Sometimes this action is a dialog between self-proposed rituals and the symbolism of the materials, sometimes it is simply a way to imprint life into a contemplative visual experience. Naturally I find that some form of humor is necessary to go on existing, and I hope this manifests itself in the process or translation.
Anxieties about life and death (the existential crisis) drive my work. Rituals as diverse as the birthday and breathing often become embedded in my process. Images like the candle, the bird, and the egg often appear in my work. I try to emphasize the significance of the material and its connotations; such as copper's healing properties and the willow's (charcoal) analgesic history.
I feel my work incorporates traditions of thought from John Dewey to Martin Heidegger. I see a resemblance between my work and that of Joseph Bueys, Yves Kline, Willem DeKooning, The Viennese Actionist and contemporary artist such as Cai Guo-Qiang and Rudolf Stingel.
