“Starting with one part, we instinctively begin to seek connections to recreate the familiar. When we allow the unexpected to evolve, we remake our perception.”

Eka – Sanskrit for one or first

Mer – from Greek meros part

From early life we are taught to sort and match in ways that are culturally influenced.

We become uncomfortable when we can’t find a fit and will create a new group or uneasily accept incongruence while we contemplate alternatives.

Eka Mer explores how we attempt to shape the view of our self and our world and seek to overcome our sense of vulnerability and the innate resistance to change that occurs in our culture. The Project aims to build stronger connections in our community.

The artworks and projects are resourced predominately from my hoarded collections of ‘interesting items with potential.’ I am happy to accept your contributions of treasures and also create commissioned work incorporating your pieces.
