The work of Ines Norton exists under the context of the present moment, fruit of the experience of the here and now, refusing any pre-deterministic logic therefore opening space for it to simply happen.
Video, photography, and installation are some of the tools that she use as means of expression, working on the conception of objects that do not always undergo a transformation but by simply using them out of context and metaphorically.
She create, believing that art is the path less obstructed to experiencing, which taps in to that millionth of a second prior to the impulse to create barriers and create concepts.
” Art is the path less obstructed to experiencing, which taps in to that millionth of a second prior to the impulse to create barriers and create concepts, that I call the truth.
A lens through which one can peek and envision the world. A kaleidoscope of possibilities that brings us to our uniqueness and at the same time to our common denominator (collective memory) as a species. ”
