MEASURING COMPLEXITY
An exhibition of paintings, textiles and sculpture.
Kitty Laity and I will be exploring the way in which one might observe pattern, disorder and complexity in nature. Asking, how might visual input affect our state of mind, and what type of thinking might it promote?
Kitty Laity works with mixed media, and develops community based art projects. She uses her work to discuss light and geometry, incorporating these areas of interest into sculptures, textiles and drawings. Materials are blended to express chaos and complexity, while manipulating the experience of space, contrasting boundaries and limitless direction. In the past she has worked with local schools to create mixed media projects with community involvement. She has exhibited in London, and Beijing.
I am interested in using paint to express experience, intellect and emotion. My work is an attempt to convey, in finite terms, the infrastructure of relentless change of which we are a part. The exhibition might present an opportunity to discuss the illusion of order, one's inability to predict outcomes and the profundity of choice. Armed with more questions than answers, the audience can expect an encounter with marks that only confound their puzzlement, providing an opportunity to simply look. These paintings are a celebration of the potential for observation, intuition and imagination.
