Residency: Rian Treanor
During his residence Rian Treanor develop a sound installation in the Sound LAB
These Things You See in Your Eyes are Common When the Brain is Damaged is a series of new works to be developed at LABoral, 2014. Using digital and analogue mutations to the human figure, Treanor will idiosyncratically arrange versions of human body-parts, creating augmented fabric collages or tapestries. The dissected, mutated and recombined life drawings present a peculiar perspective of the human form. Materializing into detailed textural fabric works, composing layers of transparencies, repetitions and accidents. These transformations will develop through his time spent experimenting within the facilities at LABoral, finding new ways of deforming the figure, an extension of his previous works. Where Treanor is concerned with the notion that the self is non-stable and subject to continual change, which he explores in a variety of fragmented evolving multiple-media works.
