Wash Away

By  John Vincent 2020

Artist Residency Programme Commissioned by Eastcheap Projects (Supported by Arts Council England Lottery Funding)

'Drawing some inspiration from a sculpture by artist Robert Gober (1993-94 UNTITLED series) the concept behind this video installation uses similar references to the uncanny and hygiene but is also an exploration of another world only accessible by shrinking like the Antman or Alice (in Wonderland), enabling travel to places that would be impossible to reach under normal circumstances.

Using data from the digital capture of the motion of an object floating on water, the image of the sleeping artist appears to float and drift in and out of view in an apparently cavernous space beneath the opening of the vortex.'
