The unusual structure of the Pump House Gallery's four-storey exhibition space provides the focus for this exhibition, the artworks presenting visual commentaries on the multi-layered architecture of the building in which they are temporarily housed.
Elise Ferguson's intricate gouache paintings of patterned parquet flooring describe virtual expanses of architectural interiors, whilst her precariously balanced house-of-cards highlights the vulnerabilities of ambitious construction and the fragility of modern life. Anna Hutton's site-specific artworks explore the transient spaces of buildings. Drawing over walls, floors and other surfaces with coloured adhesive tape, her complex installations realign our experience of existing built environments asking the viewer to consider even the most insignificant of spaces.
With the heroic energy and aspirational creativity of a dubious DIY enthusiast, Mark Pearson builds brutal physical structures that challenge the apparent limits of their craftsmanship. In contrast, Chloë Steele's delicate drawings and simplified sculptures of modernist tower blocks both contradict and celebrate the vast scale of the actual buildings, whilst observing the formal subtleties of the architecture they represent.
