ADAM SATUSHEK

artist statement         
Existing within mobile bodies that do things and make stuff, we influence and construct our surroundings in certain ways. Simultaneously our behaviors, movements, and structures are shaped within the world’s framework. My work investigates the knitting of humans with the world. I search for arrangements that display processes of the world and the ways in which we attempt to alter or accept them. These are odd interactions wherein commonplace things and environments are reconsidered and attention is given to the space between what we may assume about the world and the reality of how the world exists. This work stems from an attempt to understand my own occupation of the world and my role as mobile body among the world of objects.
