press release

My interest is to isolate individual guidelines of perception. In this body of work, I examine how we define an object and how through the object we can understand its original context. What are the forces that act on a body? To what extent can a presence exist without the space around it? (Boroson, 2003)

Boroson's two projects look at objects that can be seen as direct signifiers for the actions upon them. In the star project, Boroson has taken images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (a photographic map of the universe) and removed all of the "space," leaving the objects to float in a true void. He's then allowed the stars, galaxies, asteroids, etc. to re-cluster in the middle of each image. In his recent installations of clouds, constructed of thousands of hollow glass spheres, the forms that are shaped by atmospheric and meteorological conditions crystallize, as if time has slowed down, into a form that resembles bubbles about to pop. These works are based on his study of the space in-between actions, individuals and events. Boroson is interested in the non-event, the non-thing, from boundary to boundary.
