Past Exhibition

Proposition has been conceived as a causerie between two artists; an informal discussion, a conversation piece. Through parallel collaboration and by installing seemingly unrelated images and objects, a dialogue engaging in reply, redefinition of site, subject and object occurs in the conversations between pieces. Translations of photographic motifs present themselves as metaphors for the real object. Elements derived from documentation of site, spaces lost and found, gardens that fill empty spaces, sidewalk activity, assemble as a site specific take on the local.

Proposition refers in method to a gardened abstraction, a documentary of spaces and place that reside in a liminal locale. Utilising props to suggest site that exists beyond the interior of the gallery space, the installation commentates on that which exists outside its edges. Outlining the less noticed via a series of elements; constructed gardens, concrete edges, tarlines, carparks, sidewalk plantings; image and object alike become the blueprints of an unspecified topography. Facing in from their edges these objects and spaces become the lining for an exterior space.
