Siro Cavaiuolo

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photography)

I use overworking as a method of creation. Drawing on memory, found domestic objects and materiality, I compress volatile feelings into precariously constructed images, text and sculpture, evoking a loose narrative between different media in a given space. My work explores what transpires when a catalyst is never introduced and what is created when a finished object is asked to continue. I present speculative, non-rational iteration as equal and vital to its primary source.
