Artist Statement

SV Randall is an artist working with sculpture, installation, painting, and performance to address the various ways in which objects mutate in nature and function across time. Time suggests a pattern, it also collapses spaces and welds realities. Randall’s multidisciplinary projects examine entangled connections; bringing together quotidian objects, symbolic materials, and historical research. Throughout his practice, he explores how we situate ourselves in the world, while highlighting larger issues of social visibility, class structure, technological obsolesce, and spatial politics.
