Somewhere between

Somewhere between : modelling wax, pvc plastic and plastic bristles, variable size, 2011. Included in a group show during Deptford X - Fleeting Resonance at St Paul’s House, 125 Deptford High Street, London, UK,  2011. Group exhibition Gill Addison, Julia Bardsley, Lelia Galloway, Wayne Lucas, Jacqueline Utley, 2011.

​

'Exhibiting new work in the ground floor space of St Paul’s House Deptford High Street. The space will be transformed into a series of “spatial interventions” that will house individual works aiming to create dialogue between the space and practices. These moments of conversation (fleeting or otherwise) remain core to the works presented and the experience of working in St Paul's House. Sometimes tangential, sometimes direct the works offer an insightful view of how diverse practices can affect and charge each other."

"My installation existed in the stairwell and in a smallish room opposite. 

 

I remember painting the floor on the night of the London Riots - it must have been the 6th of August. I had no idea this was happening until I opened the door of St Paul’s House - moving from one state of peace in an instant to total chaos - no one knew what was going on - as I walked home I could see burning cars, gangs of youths looting - there was total panic!- everything seemed to be collapsing.

At the time I was reflecting on passive matter becoming active - thinking corporeal material as agency - nature as potential force - an energy, a creative power.

 

Nothing is ever stable - we are always on the edge; a shift, an eruption or slippage into somewhere else.
