Recent exhibition at Lawsons hair dressers was a big success! Just like before it was right down to the wire and we where still setting up come 5:45, but that's just the way it goes. Drinks were flowing and again had a turn out which came to over 100 people. A big thank you to Ruby Burman and Josephine Fairbrother who were a massive help in setting up the exhibition, your help was key on deadline day. Enjoy the images and description of my work to follow.
Untitled 2010. Such a formal title, i genuinely think that if i could i would ban the act of giving an art work a 'name'. My work is crafted in the vision that it speaks for itself and does not have a colour or creed suggested by the act of naming.
The work consists of a hanging page with a face cut into it with a sharp blade, the work is hanging with thin Nylon and bulldog clips, a small light is positioned to shine light through the work and onto the wall behind and to the right. Being so interested in vagueness and ambiguity the really interesting element to this work is the shadow opposed to the paper, the tangible element to the work is essentially redundant. I feel that this work is only completely on display with the light and correct position, displaying it in any other way would be destroying the integrity of the work. Generally received well I’m pleased with ‘Untitled 2010’ and will probably continue making work in this fashion, experimenting with light and form. More on the other works featuring in the castle in spain exhibition to come!
