In Between Spaces
Interested in spaces that show the passage of time and the accumulation of accretions on
architecture, this new body of work will explore the idea of in between spaces, in
particular spaces that have been abandoned, destroyed and transformed by urbanization.
Often described as dead zones, heterotopias, or terrain vague these “other” spaces allow
for the cultivation of contemporary ruins. Here, the built environment is sliding towards
a more organic state in which the corroding, decomposing power of nature is producing a
new form. Biomorphic aggregations begin to take over built structures and this organic
deterioration creates modern ruins which register as symbols of something lost but also
as a site of possibility. In these spaces there exists a loss of control, buildings fall down
into ruin, urban decay, graffiti and other public intervention occurs and within that there
exists a kind of freedom without any form of maintenance or control. In these locations
the natural environment and the built environment are allowed to freely interact
revealing a wild, complex, and untamed environment.
The process heavy paintings become a space of suspension between something that was
built and something that has been destroyed. Building up layers of paint over time and
assaulting the picture plane by scratching, grinding and burning down the surface
enables the work to reflect a crumbling infrastructure. The visual qualities of the work
are simultaneously organic and architectonic; the intersection of these two extremes
becomes a point of complexity. At first glance the works appear expressive and painterly
in their abstraction, and it is at closer inspection that one can see the corroding forms of
architectural and organic shapes. The painting becomes an excavation site – Like modern
ruins that mark the passage of time, reflecting both a time past and a time present, the
paintings portray something that was once present but through deconstruction and
transformation has become a new form.
