Description

A new body of work this exhibition comprises a series of light-projection pieces of almost spiritual iconography. They present a mise en scene of apparitional and transformation metaphors within perception such as to lament the limitations or deficiencies of the human condition.

An exhibition of new works, sculptures and collages. Strange conjunctions of kitsch images and objects, teaming picturesque National Geographic style photographic images, often of pristine landscapes, with banal, mass produced objects.

Description

The space was divided into two parts, the first area contained not only the artists more 'usual’ work, found objects, images and material are combined within frames in highly aestheticised configurations that flick between abstraction and representation, usually simultaneously, but also larger works using images and material set in cubes, moving the works into a rugged three dimensionality.
