Artist Statement

source link Ikard employs domestic objects to create the opportunity to perceive an unfamiliar past or to invent a new one. Ikard uses domestic materials, animation, science fiction soundscapes, digital fabrication, and interactive electronic technologies to create a sentiment of displacement; a longing for a home that no longer exists or never did. He draws from objects as samples of distance experiences in which the object can only evoke and resonate, but never entirely recoup. Ikard uses home-like installations to give memories form through furniture, evoking a disquieting sense of anxiety and loss. These objects suggest potential narratives, loss, and memorial fragments that collide to form new events. Ikard’s work focuses on the emotional distance and tension in formative familial relationships and uses his own experiences to expand the meaning of the home. This work is a transitional space between mourning one's loss of familiar childhood relationships and the hope of constructing one’s own future space. source site https://www.sugardoodle.net/ax9auv0ob
