A large part of Bray’s practice revolves around the creation of paintings, which are autonomous pieces as much as symbolic storyboards for the video Morpher. The paintings recurrently make an appearance within the video series, existing within the pre-production space as announcers of what may come, as much as props later within the video as reminders of these interconnected complementary processes. By creating a visual script, the images travel across the physical and digital realms becoming a sign system in and of itself. They take on the roles of a subtext (an underlying and often distinct theme within the work), as much as a hypertext (text that contains links to other parts of the video) and an intertext (the shaping of a texts meaning through another text).
Through this fluidity of signs, Bray aims to accentuate the capacity of language to morph. To adapt and transform into new narratives, new challenges and new possible forms of poetry that we want our society to take, while simultaneously unfolding the struggles of doing it through the complex interweaved layering of it all.
