About The Work

FLUXUS NEBULOUS ad claritatem' Is created from combining the markings of graffiti with digital programs. A layering of imagery to form semi moving paintings. Fluxus meaning to shift and flow and Nebulous to be hazy and from the Latin: ad claritatem... to find clarity through and beyond the initial states of epileptic occurences, to recovery of the physic essence and to finding yourself and confidence inside ones being. These works is the creative processes and development of the idea of street art performance and the use of ‘marking, signing, street art’ to create motion. An evolution of video component in the initial idea of The Videos Suitcase Walk, which was devised and conceptualised by the artist. As the artist is also a poet and prose writer she wanted the title of the video piece ‘Fluxus Nebulous’ to be a bit epithet. There is also creativity through colouration, form, and motion and text and identity as a lesbian and a woman who loves women.
