BROOM / SHOVEL

The objects on view in this collection extend through different forms of consciousness. Different modes of perception of an object bleed into one another in de Freitas’s work. Whether for the viewer or the sitter, they slip past purely visual forms of awareness into relationships of a more elusive and embedded kind. The relationship between use and function in de Freitas’s work is an invitation to these thought-experiments that extend to the sensing body.
