Kreutter, Jessica
I am interested in the spaces in-between. These spaces suggest that there is something more than what our world has been divided up into: something more than male and female, something between reality and fantasy, some point where opposing ideas overlap. These places where boundaries are breached or intersect, these sites of ambiguity, suggest the possibility of seeing the world differently.
Currently, I have been concerned with the in-between sites on the body. I see this in the way that consumption overlaps with reproduction at sites such as the female breast, or in the orifices where the hidden and internal transgress the boundaries of the body to become external.
The female body, especially, is a body that is uncontainable: fluids leak and bodies emerge from the dark interior. I am interested in merging this uncontainable flesh and fluid with a time of domestic constraint and exaggerated femininity. Fragments of flesh, stripped of what once made them real, become objects that produce goods. I hope to find a point of ambiguity and contradiction that collapses, if only for a moment, these binary oppositions.
