RACHEL
CORNISH
I use the moving image to explore the conscious
experience of ‘being’ in the time
frame referred to as ‘now’. By manipulating
spatial aspects and the linearity of filmed
experience, my work, frequently meditative in
nature, invites the viewer to question the essence
of being present. ‘When do I experience
something happening?’ bears a unique relationship
to memory and mental reconstruction.
‘It is in the turning back that the way
moves’ (Lao Tzu)

Using lens-based and moving-image media,
I consider how we perceive, interpret and construct
our sense of being-in-the-world through visual
phenomena. Considering ‘the measure for
architecture, the structure of dwelling’,
and how this informs our thinking-language,
I am interested in the relationship between
the physical dwelling place and mental dwelling
space. I use image as poetic visual metaphor
to explore the human condition of ‘being’
as a dialogue between material and spiritual
encounter, and to dissolve the palpable boundary
between these interior and exterior worlds of
inhabitation.
