David Ogle
I am less interested in 'objects' than I am in places, environments or events. An object is (to some degree) fixed, static - defined by its formal properties. I think I am more interested in change and fluidity, appearances and disappearances
My work is increasingly focused upon our relationship to landscape and the fundamental visual forms that we find meaningful or resonant in nature. I want to refine and distill these elements, creating a heightened nature; imaginary utopias that people can view or temporarily inhabit.
I want to make things that envision these new worlds, or create moments in which our own feels suddenly alien.

David recommends Jennifer Taylor’s work: “I love the way that Jennifer animates her recent sculptural works with these otherworldly, ritualistic performance elements. Her video works to present surreal interventions into remote locations that distort these places in interesting ways.”
