About Troy Abbott

Artist Statement:

Troy Abbott is exploring the issues of Perception and Reality. His work focuses on Technology and Shamanism. How do we experience what is Real in a world that is increasingly artificial? He is interested in delving into the "experience" of something and not the thing itself. How does the 'new' version of an old idea or concept make us feel, make us think, make us react? What is the sensation of experiencing that which is not physically real but imaginary in the physical world? A HYBRID REALITY, part physical and part synthetic.

The cage represents the physical boundary of the human body and it’s limited potential. The player within the work represents the mind dreaming or thinking the bird into existence. The bird itself represents the human soul, not tangible, created by light, it is a pure expression of energy.
