Turner prize 2009 Tate Britain

They climbed through the curves of her chairs:

Pressed, printed, tacked to the walls,

contours

of interior space.

A mission to recreate the reproductions in her mind.

Slices, of tusks, bar-coded to the reaction of wonder-awe-ful-ore.

They’re barred  stuck between spikes- giants of the tools and materials,

Skittles of instruments seen used through your one tonne eye

 

Golden leaves adore a portion of wall,

 a portion of wall adores the room

 adores the imp and steals him away- leaving possibilities of

‘are there anymore?’

painted or over imprinted in the fabric of a structural onion of art.

Are you hungry for this show?

This invasion of architecture,

The lack of blockades, impositions, leaving the imagination of architectural psychosis

Documented and recoded

 

Elevated, lifted, stretched and contorted to the men

Stuffing, stretching dolls of faces on the backless horses.

Hooves bound to socially quirky stances blocking you from my door ways

Obstructing his streamlined views are Latinate brush strokes for a standstill moment in time

Giants of tiny spaces, shocking from the familiarity of colours.

 

Ominous subtlety of maliciousness

Designed to confuse and repel-

Flooding houses with crystals that will kill my cat

Sweeping, heaping and piling bodies of passengers

Planes in the alps and a

Top-of-logical diagram of the state of matter.

Powdered brains and crystals of imaginations Roald into a fire escaping mouth opening.

Science has met fiction in a world of diagrammatic illustrations of the architecture of art.

 

Writer detail:

Currently in my final year at Sheffield Hallam, my practice concentrates on photography and  contemporary writing.

These are the first reviews I have written. Using my style of poetry and prose I have attempted to give the reader an intimate yet abstract overview of the show, allowing them to enjoy the works in their very own unique ways.

I can only hope I do these works of art justice.
