GERTRUDE. Mad as the sea and wind, when both contend. Which is the mightier. (Hamlet 4.1.9)

Project Description 

Renée Delores presents three pieces (one black and white print, fourteen Amphorae, and a double projection film) installed as an experimental examination of the play Hamlet. She uses the play as a symbolic and structural framework to probe the fragility of shared human history, in the dance of tightrope navigation over environmental and relational tribulations. Like Ophelia, how can we reconcile our collective or individual paradoxical selves? Her men insist that she be chaste, preserving equilibrium, but still her soul yearns, and she is left with no way to unravel these contradictory expectations.

When read holistically, one is confronted with a cipher of beauty and bewilderment inherent to the human condition. The capacity for making decisions most aligned with our interests triggers resolute action, but the actions frequently are cloaked in veils of illusion, The three pieces of the installation connect as a meditation on Nature, Hamlet, and ultimately, what it means to live, to love, to feel a sense of ambiguous loss, and to harbor the pain of exile and longing in search of meaning in a world out of joint. What follows is an elaboration on the three pieces.

Charlotte Wendy Law / cwl / (b.1980)
I am an interdisciplinary artist from Dartmoor, currently based in Oakland, CA.
I work in a sensual, de-creative and durational style, seeking an embodied form of knowledge. The resulting work is visceral yet lyrical.

As I find myself increasingly led by the landscape, I draw on my own queer nomadism, alongside alchemical processes, deep listening and quiet observation, to create work that blurs the boundaries between self and other, body and landscape, perceptions of living and non. Hoping to share a sense of enchantment and solidarity with the natural world.
