Material Figments



Material Figments, 2017. Acrylic, pine, nails, liquid nails, screws and play dough. [installation view]


Unnamed Imaginary Exhibition, currently on view at Our Neon Foe, 411 Parramatta Rd Leichhardt.

To make something for the gallery space, a shop front window facing onto Parramatta road, I conceived of a painting in exploded view. Working from an image in my mind, I saw the wall parallel to the window as the ground of the painting and the geometries of the tiled floor as a grid from which linear structures could extend up, out and around in three dimensions.
I played with elements of symmetries, colour and depth, where painted surfaces interact with hand made structures of wood and play dough. This was an opportunity to experiment with ideas of painting and the expanded field, utilizing the entire gallery space to make a site-specific installation. Images from my mind extend out, and balance into reality.


The exhibition is open on week ends, 11am to 5pm until the 16th of April.
