"Playground in Ouroboros"
Julie Pereira
March 20 - 26, 2022
Artist Statement:
"Playgrounds invite joyful improvised movement and exploration of embodied aliveness. Ouroboros is the circular symbol of bound infinity where opposites merge: real and imagined, interior and exterior, tiny and vast, wild and safe, sky and earth. Here, the circular disc becomes the unit with which this playground is built. The disc as a form embodies a spinning motion. Propelled through air, discs move in arcs and spirals with the ebb and flow of momentum. One disc piled on another, like moments overlapping, form linear paths and appendages, moving out, up, down, or inward. The disc inverted, as negative space, and accumulated in stacks, becomes a tunnel, a mouth, a passageway, a portal to an inverse world hidden from light, where these discs appear to contain a light and life of their own. “Playground in Ouroboros” is an homage to the worlds we visit through engaging the imagination."
