Artist Statement
Through an interdisciplinary approach to photography, I work with topographies and delineations to explore structure and ideology. I look for the irregularities that complicate binaries—systematic and unsystematic, production and depletion, history and future, pure form and organic form. Working through the particulars of place, my work stretches the legibility of representation, and vacillates between the familiar and the fictitious to amplify ambiguity and metaphor.
Process Statement
My process involves an interdisciplinary approach to photography that is influenced by boundless considerations.
Kendall McMinimy uses photography, digital art, printmaking and sculpture to explore boundaries, structure and ideology as filtered through place.
Stretching the legibility of representation, his work vacillates between the familiar and the fictitious, amplifying ambiguities and associations to allow for continual shifts in the topographies of possibilities.
