The work includes aspects of sculpture, drawing, and construction and thus can be considered something 'in-between' painting and these other areas.
Curated by Iga Janik
The term in-between refers to a number of ideas found in the work included
in this exhibition; it makes reference to the fact that much of this work
sits on the fringe of what may be considered ‘painting’. The work includes
aspects of sculpture, drawing, and construction and thus can be considered
something ‘in-between’ painting and these other areas.
In-between also refers to the space these paintings occupy. Some of the
works have holes physically present in their surfaces, others are shiny and
impenetrable. The holes lead the viewer to an unknown space that sits
between the surface of the painting and the wall; while the impenetrable
surfaces position the viewer between the painting and the light source
drawing attention to the physical/exterior surroundings in which the
painting is viewed.
Lastly, much of this work is derived from the act of sitting and looking
while in-between the more significant events of daily life. It is during
these moments that we tend to notice architectural nuances and details such
as cracked plaster ceilings, poorly patched/ yet-to-be patched walls, or how
light is cast into the room. The work featured in this exhibition is
directly sourced from these types of in-between experiences and the
associations they give rise to.
