Movement: New Post Modern Hysteria (N.PM.H.) is a critique of “Post-Modernistic ideals". Conceptuality is important but only if it is homogenized with the artists expression. N.PM.H. says no to appropriation for the purpose of innovotion. N.PM.H. says yes to expression free of contextual baggage. N.PM.H believes in only contextualizing creative actions within their respective time and space. Where do these objects go once they are out of my hands? Re-working themselves into their own destruction no longer.
My work deals with the artists process. I use a concept called time, space, surrealism to closely examine the relativity of every mark that I make. I use arbitrarily varying mediums to fabricate physical compositions . I observe the relationships between that, that has been produced, and have seen a finite methodology that has proven significant endurance over time and space.
Time, space, surrealism (T.S.S.) is the juxtaposition of marks of expression created in different, but specific, spaces, over an unspecific amount of time. Through this process the works now exist parallel in time and engage the same space, the outcome is surreal. Real and unrehersed. T.S.S Is a universal phenomenon that has been harnessed as method of artistic expression. T.S.S. searches for patterns of unconscious behavior within a controlled environment that is unadulterated by any predisposed elements. T.S.S. is simply taking things out of their original or current time and space and replacing them elsewhere. If you are on a journey to a foreign space and you imagine what it is going to be like before you arrive, your minds image of this space and its physical reality are never going to be totally congruent. However, their will be some commonalities, this is because your mind has input many subtleties into the scene. These details are automatically fabricated from past experience, and anticipated time, space, relativity to the place you are going. In this situation T.S.S would be interested in the space in between the minds accuracy and fallacy.
Time, Space, Surrealism, is a tool to be used for the investigation of the unconscious nature of things. Unlike the original Surrealist movement, T.S.S. does not focus on the removal environmental inhibitors of the unconscious. T.S.S simply acknowledges that these factors are naturally present in any process. In doing so T.S.S. renders all control to time and space. The mediums that are used in this process are unlimited. They are selected due to their proximity in time and space to the to the place where the process is being engaged. T.S.S. mediums are never selected for a specific input. It is to be assumed that the unconscious determines how each medium is applicable to the process.
