CHAIN FOREST - I Am Letting Time Do Its Thing

I Am Letting Time Do Its Thing.

Standovár’s Chain Forest photographs of heavy chains laid across rural landscapes in upstate NY, visualising entanglements of the mind, memory, and shifting body, in remote places that seem foreign yet uncannily familiar.

Chains, long part of her practice, represent the way our thoughts link and loop, and how getting lost in our minds can feel like entering a dense, quiet forest: still, yet constantly in motion.

Sculptural in their short-lived, site-specific form, the compositions are later frozen through photography, moving from three- to two-dimensional; from gesture to image.
