Carola Clift Special Projects have to do with essential, human questions; they are intended to increase the surface area of our experience of life, often addressing the place where the larger, more universal, meets the personal. They are intended to work from the inside-out, in ways that are specific to each individual viewer. My aim is to do this by subtly disrupting what we think we already know, and opening up new possibilities within us. These projects will stimulate new modalities of perception, thought, and emotion. I want my work to affect people viscerally, emotionally, and physically as much as intellectually. They are not self-expression or didactic, message-oriented projects, but rather, invitations to enter and discover what you, in particular, might find. To listen more than speak, both as artist and viewer, to transcend what we think we think we're looking for, and see what else might be there: in the work, in the world, in ourselves--and where these meet.
Currently there are five projects I'm working on that fall within this category of special projects: Meanwhile, CxC, If Eyes could Walk, Comma, and the final touches on The David and Gladys Wright House. Additionally, there are my paintings which are ongoing.
