Conner’s artistic approach embodies the power of transformative perception and dynamic interaction between art and its audience. By placing harnesses on his art pieces, he metaphorically is exploring the concept that art possesses its own identity and viewpoint shaped by restraints. This act is a profound investigation into how art interacts with and is influenced by its environment, and how it evolves over time in response to these interactions.
The harnesses symbolize the various constraints and influences that shape the interpretation and perception of art. Through this lens, Conner examines how context, perspective, and external factors alter our understanding and appreciation of art. This approach blurs the line between creator and creation, suggesting a symbiotic relationship where each influences and learns from the other.
