DIS / locate

DIS / location is a visual exploration that engages with the experiential nature of painting, as work completed by the viewer: how paintings are ‘read’, and the relationship between artist-mediated surface and perceived spatial presence. Thematically based on research exploring the physicality of the human condition, the works establish visual ambiguities to create tensions and confluences, uncertainties, juxtapositions and dislocations. The results attempt to invoke an ‘in-between space’ mediated by the viewer, posing questions about perception and visual understanding: how we look and what we actually see.
