What is the Churn of the Unmade

  What is the Churn of the Unmade?  Metamodernist art by JJFBbennett It isn’t just paint; it’s the heavy, exhausting gravity of pure affectation. I applied these deep purples and stark whites with a thick palette knife, wanting you to feel the weight of the medium itself—the messy, chaotic over-saturation of our digital lives, the constant noise. It’s dense, tactile, and completely overwhelming. But  The chaos is interrupted by a line of perfect, unyielding geometry. A clear glass ring slicing straight through the noise.

Whitely Selfie Sydney

Location Sydney Harbour, hanging inside the Convention Centre at Darling Harbour There is a theory going around A theory where you gain insights into all that is But there is nothing for you And yet you are driven to see yourself in everything that is We are still hiding in that dark room With only one candle lit In awe of our shadows Looking at what we do with ourselves
