Cameron Jarvie has tried many times to nail down a short statement on his practice, but has never quite succeeded.
Every time he has been asked, he reimagines his statement from a different angle. The individual statements don't get closer to the heart of what he's trying to do, but each one adds a layer which together start to build back into a richer picture of his practice.
His work seeks to prompt and extend this process with the world around us- maybe that's the point.
