Marva Duvra (March/April 2017)

I am intrigued by the possibility of stillness to bring about a sense of interiority/creating a simultaneously silent and sonorous environment
This body of work is a field guide to light/lack/ melancholy/collecting/nature/place
My text is all divergence/ my practice happens in the
archive
                 begins
                 emerges
Epidermal words; embroidered; sutured texts
              [The poetic image is a] “lived sensual space”
                                                 a porous hermetic world
My work combines two actions
my experience as an artist who writes, reads, and collects to create and arrange objects as text and text as objects // studying the malleable qualities of images and poetry and the creation of metaphysical installations of stillness and fleeting moments of lucid ambiguity. To conjure a more sensuous experience of objects to condense both voice and matter.
