Engineer
Part Two
Engineer is a project in six consecutive parts, beginning in June 2003 and
evolving through to the end of March 2004.
For Part Two Susan Collis introduces her preoccupation with artifice to the
lower gallery space by superimposing inlay and veneer on existing and
installed fixtures and fittings.
While random and incidental marks of wear and tear reveal themselves as
having been laboriously crafted by hand, veneer is also imposed to elevate
the status of an ordinary material. These surface interventions raise
questions concerning aesthetic value, identity, craft and labour.
Susan Collis was the student winner of the Jerwood Drawing Prize and the
Pizza Express Prospects Contemporary Drawing Prize in 2002 and of a British
Cement Association Award in 2001. Her work is in a number of private
collections.
Over the period June 2003 to March 2004, the various exhibition sites at
Beaconsfield will be brought into play by individual artists, each piece
remaining until the end.
