Past Exhibition

This body of work is a regeneration of two exhibitions SI FI (2012) and Stainless (2011). The latter was inspired by a visit to the Los Angeles Car Museum where a De Lorean car is on display. The car was a business failure but found success in the film Back to the Future as a time travel machine. The car travels from the car park of The Twin Pines shopping centre but knocks down a tree and is renamed Lone Pine. The elements of slapstick, science fiction and humour are combined in this journey where fears are faced and return transformed …the myth of “going into the woods”.

Pinewood Bend 2013 alludes to this journey … what is around the bend? The floor forms of bent aluminum rods have attachments inner soles (souls), swollen bandaged joints; they move and rise away from the window.

The wall works are PVC banners found in cinema foyers – the original surface of the banner is pixilated, the applied ink washes and grids of tape act as glitches like a manual low-fi process, breaking down the screen surface and undermining notions of technology. The usual science fiction art tropes, starscapes, radiating beams and brightly hued gradients help create a space between science and reality.
