About The Artwork
A simultaneous event on opposite coasts of the United States. For this event, I coordinated a simultaneous action with my twin brother across the United States. He completed the designated event as SC Durkin in California, while I completed the action as myself in New Jersey. Upon completion, I mailed to myself in New Jersey the excavated material from the California component of the action. I then presented a live netcast performance in New York City, where I combined the excavated coastal material from the beach event and sent samples to individuals who share the name Scott C Durkin. Presented in fulfillment of the 2000 Future of the Present Grant Award in association with Franklin Furnace, the National Endowment for the Arts funded organization committed to presenting, preserving and advocating time-based visual art. 'Shared Identity' is listed on the Digital Performance Archive and featured in the book Digital Performance by Steve Dixon and published by The MIT Press.

United Kingdom
I am a multi-media artist. I make images and experience. My images and performances celebrate the mundane and exalt the everyday to history and icon. I work to achieve a balance between composition, materials and meaning. In my performance pieces, I often make rules and parameters that limit my behaviour - this makes opportunity for artistic exchange. Reoccurring themes create a tempo and pattern throughout my work. Nostalgia, education and learning, family, history, storytelling and diary keeping are concepts that have contributed to my artmaking. Texture and pattern are essential elements in my picture making. It is a visual mixture that dances the viewer's eye across and around the surface. I embrace the ideal of revealing the materials and craft in my work. Breadth and variety of topics and media with a heavy conceptual bent directs my personal practice. Painting, Performance, Printmaking, Collage, Sculpture, Photography, Film and Video
