relationships to materiality and subjective experience. Saint Profanus&nbsp;intervenes at various interstices of the concept-art-object-axis to emerge as a mobile and unrestrained genesis point for new modes of reworking familiar formats in order to prompt reflection on consensus reality. Iterventions are rooted in hybridized attempts towards post-conceptual responses, excavating and sifting through notions of practice, production and participation inside the over-inundation of a hyper-exposed reality. Saint Profanus considers the medium as a mutable vessel to hold, synthesize and reconstitute information; experimenting within modalities specific to each intervention. [Possible applications of mediums and modalities include but are not limited to : Art direction, installation, still and moving image, costume/textile design, print media, performance, grand/mundane happenings, etc...] Saint Profanus functions like the black box in systems theory, channeling the most sacred profane, from the semiotics of spectacle and of source, through frames of empirical reference, to present experiences that exist simultaneously inside and outside of the ubiquity of everyday life.

The solo figure of the film navigates a solitary and myopic four walled existence amidst a cyclic unfurling of surrealistic dream imagery that eventually pulls the subject (and spectator) into a new dimension of the unknown.

A prescription in the form of a sculpture, born from sickbed questions to Asclepius: Who or what heals? To whom do we assign the power and the privilege? An institution? The Self? The Earth?

The archetype and the experience of “the mother” is a paradoxical and deeply complex origin point, anchored in the depths of our collective past and cyclically revisited in endlessly unique permutations through every human life born onto this planet. The ubiquity of this source material is inextricably entwined with our personal &amp; collective knowledge of lived experience and in this way we each are linked. If you peel back the layers that separate us from one another, at the very center lies a shared origin, a beginning inside the body of a woman, and while our experiences of and with this mythic woman vary greatly, the source point remains undeniably universal. As one facet of a larger on-going project exploring the vastness of the Mother Archetype, I will be conducting a series of interviews, structured informally as conversations, in an effort to collect stories and experiences related to this mythic topic that will hopefully inform continued works and build cross-cultural bridges to understanding. I welcome any and all individuals interested in sharing their personal experiences and perspectives surrounding the Archetype of the Mother, this includes not just individuals who identify as mothers but anyone and everyone with something to share on the topic. I am specifically interested in speaking with people whose experience of this archetype is not reflected in commonly accepted/prevailing narratives: Mothers of children whose lives and well-being are at risk due to racism, sexism, war or other forms of culturally perpetuated violence. Mothers (or people who have parental figures) who identify as LGBTQIA. Mothers (and/or their children) with physical or developmental disabilities. Mothers who take alternative / non-traditional approaches to raising their children. Non-western Mothers &amp;/or the Children of Non-Western mothers. Women who have had abortions as well as women who are active pro-Life proponents. Women who have given birth to a child as a result of a rape. Women who have given children up for adoption as well as adopted children and adoptive parents. Women who have struggled with fertility issues. Women who have been surrogates or egg donors. Mothers who have been or are incarcerated. Mothers who have been separated from their children. People who have grown up without a Mother figure (or who have a non-traditional mother figure). Single mothers raising children in strained financial situations.

For all things are formed from the remnants of something else. Via vitrification :The soft forms are frozen by the heat of half a star rapid - petrification preserving a few fractions of a moment when measured pressure of forms against forms molded into shape a vague sliver of an intention that, without intervening force, will outlast any memory of the hands that pulled the form forth.
