Artist's
Statement
The
work leads you in from the entrance and towards the
new curatorial space, unifying the space, and engaging
the viewer’s awareness of the structure of the
space and the studios.
Each
of the 8 pairs is made with one half acrylic paint
applied directly on to the wall, the other half being
a ready made industrial material, ranging from foamboard,
plexiglass, twin-walled polycarbonate sheet to galvanised
metal, chipboard and matchboard. These ready made
areas have been fixed with round headed screws and
washers in each corner, the fittings clearly showing.
Some
of the painted areas are colours mixed by the artist
and applied with a single layer, byroller;
other surfaces have been built using glazes and have
been created in several layers.
Each
pair, part of the whole, also invites the viewer’s
response to its particular qualities/ relationships,
as they walk past the sections, interplay between
the parts forming part of the experience.
