Cluster/Clutter is a series of sculptural paintings that explore the dizzying affect(s) of brain fog, disassociation, and disconnection. Describing his experience of disorientation as ‘feeling like a fruit bag’, Mei Lin encapsulates the non-linearity, modularity and goofiness of being out of it. 

Through assembling and retrofitting materials, Meyers embraces, juggles, holds and offers citrus fruits, hands of ginger and pedestal fans as kin. This work maps other ways of being in time and space, embracing non-normative ways of dancing and stimming through persistent moments of wooziness.
