Scenes of Dissonance
August 2022 - May 2023
A collection of imagined realities of confounding wheres and whens - this work experiences what it means to make a home caught between unreachable future and unsalvageable past. From an act of world-creation in moments of enchanting isolation, this series of spaces was formed to provide shelter from the unyielding treachery of what is, was, and will be. It breathes consciousness into imagined escape, and finds peace in the oscillation between absence and presence - a dissonant state of being.
WHEN DESIGNING THE IMAGES, GUTOSKEY WAS GREATLY INSPIRED BY THE FEELING OF A LOSS OF GROUND, AND SOUGHT TO MIMIC THAT OSCILLATION BETWEEN FAMILIAR AND ABSTRACT IN THE HANG OF THE WORK. THE IMAGES WERE DISPLAYED IN VARYING SIZES, SOME PLAINLY PRINTED SCREWED INTO THE WALL, SOME ENCASED BY HARDENED, SANDY FORMS, AND TWO AS HANGING LIGHT BOXES.
