“consequences of compression”
Debris Facility
10 July → 15 Aug 2015
Gallery 3
A scaffolding which can pivot, be assembled, augmented, supports a flexible membrane. This is a material lens, a net, tracing movements, compressions, dissipation and refraction of light. The transformative properties of heat are queried and complicated though material processes and it’s relationship to lived bodies and experiences. The fragments flick in and out of focus and they zoom in and out of scale in relationship to a human hand, unfolding with potential and burden. A scaffold inhabiting a framing device, a support structure, a parasite and a prison.
This new sequence of work will engage with textile processes, video, sculpture, performance and costuming in a tactile sensory exhibition of new works which will be altered though the course of the exhibition.
