Presenting the work of three recent graduates, each concerned with the issue of space, how space is interacted with and how it can be represented. The very kinds of issues we experience in the spaces we inhabit, but so often don’t notice.
Nancy Milner considers space in terms of the order and structure of our daily activity in and around space. Her colours develop through a slow process of layering, building and deepening their resonance, creating a kind of echo by her layered painterly process. For Milner, the ephemeral interaction of time, thought, memory and touch creates a space, much in the way human presence gives life to a space.
Hiroe Komai playfully initiates a conversation about the interaction of a body in space. Made from highly reflective materials, her geometric constructions reflect the viewers who approach the work, creating a shifting array of colours and forms as the viewers move in and out and around the works. This highlights the relationship of body, movement and space.
James Melloy presents simplified forms, but these are complicated by the gesture of his brushstrokes, which are made from brushes he has made himself. The investment of time and skill involved in the construction of these brushes alludes to the time spent and the traces of activity we leave behind in a space.
