Growing towards the Sun

In Working Titles, Luke Chiswell reevaluates his creative process by transforming the act of titling a future work into an art form in its own right. These pieces stand as reference of the artist's process in drawing inspiration from everyday life and preserving mementos from the places and objects he’s encountered. This ethos centers on seizing creative opportunities in the present moment whenever possible. The series underscores the importance of the creative journey itself, with a deliberate focus on the process rather than an excessive fixation on the final work. In his words:
“When I first came to NYC, I would make work and hang it on the construction walls, that feeling of wanting to show your work but not having anywhere to do so. Just put it up, it felt important to revisit that mindset. There is a specific green they use in NYC that I love.”
