Illusive Shifts Artist Statement

Illusive Shifts represents different body movements, based on the mixture of lines drawn. This work allows the body to be in control of the art piece created, representing a machine run by people’s movement that creates visual lines. An increase in movement creates an increase in Illusive Shifts. The piece represents each individual differently, based on height and movement style. Illusive Shifts allows each individual to interpret his or her own thinking.

I wanted individuals to be in control of their creation and show the difference in every individual. I created Illusive Shifts in mind with the game scribble. As a child I would draw lines and make connections based on the lines. That's what I did with Illusive Shifts, which creates scribbles and builds connections.
