Jera May
London
Appropriating historical drawings,artworks,literature,narrative objects, and places. I reconfigure, intervene, install, add, arrange, cast, project or act, to articulate endeavours, thoughts, happenings and occurrences. Sometimes personal sometimes with cultural and social significance. Visualing an inner subjective world, shaped, played out upon and contained in my work and surroundings. The material world existing in parallel with internal thoughts and experience, the virtual or the dreamed, represented through drawings, landscapes, projected images, sculptural films, audio or impressions.
Writing on 'The Delirium of Joy', The artist and writer Ambrosine Allen describes;
“I felt what May had created was a kind of ghostly archive, where real landscapes are layered with inner more metaphorical landscapes and connections are formed between past and present, fact and fiction. I left thoughtful about the idea of 'sculptural film', impressed by both the physical power of the installation and the romantic illusions of the projected media, seduced by how you can get lost somewhere in-between.”
