Carl Durban

MA Fine Art

I continue to search for clarity in how I think and focus on the joy of creating and developing work, to play between knowing and not knowing, looking to define how I think and exploring various ways in which to visualise my findings. I play with the nuances of language, the degree of legibility is in my hand.

My practice is very cerebral, ideas happen when I am alone and walking, I explore my thoughts and consolidate my ideas. I will continue to work this way, encouraging a rhizomatic approach to my creating, using my manifesto points as the anchor to my practice.

I have developed my ‘Thinking Loops’ as 3D and 2D and will continue to look at further ways of how they can be realised, being playful in creating and not knowing what I am going to do, trusting the process allowing materials to talk back to me. I will continue to embrace my communication background and be playful in the exploration. I will constantly refer back to my Manifesto for further inspiration.
