Premise
i am a construct. A construct of the social paradigms and ideals that have built my sense of identity. A construct influenced by images of pop-culture and war that have manufactured my sense of reality. i am a construct. A construct that is constantly defined, and redefined, by a language that determines our social relations, our thought processes, and our understanding of who and what we are. A construct of a meaning which is intended, or unintended, product of social practices and cultural values that characterise my perceptions as a series of preferences, dispositions, proclivities, and biases. i am, after all, only a construct, reified as signs and symbols within a virtual frame.
Reyyi, an artist by design, a lawyer by qualification, a materialist by classification, and a pluralist by credence, is based out of Gautam Buddha Nagar (popularly known as 'Noida'), India.
Statement of Intent
1. The artist may construct the piece
2. The piece may be fabricated
3. The piece may not be built
Each being equal and consistent with the intent of the artist the decision as to condition rests with the receiver upon the occasion of receivership.
