Jaimini Patel
Jaimini Patel is a Senior Ruskin Tutor on the undergraduate course at the Ruskin.
Jaimini Patel’s work investigates the agency of matter through a negotiation of boundaries, systems and performative actions. When an action is repeated, incremental variations in timing, pressure, or temperature affect the outcome. Such apparently chance elements are played out within carefully controlled scenarios that may threaten failure. The process of observing, collecting and attending to materials isolates momentary states and the placement of attention. The resulting ephemeral propositions often suggest the possibility of transformation having occurred, or of being imminent, acting as an invitation to imagine, that which escapes measurement or perception.
