14 September to 5 October, 2007, in the Alice Yard Space
Detail of Rack, an installation of drawings on paper suspended from clothes hangers on a makeshift clotheshorse
Conceived from an accident, the "rack" is both the presentation of my artwork and the artwork itself. First and foremost, this piece is about the unexpected excitement that came out of it being assembled. It also brings many of the qualities that work has in a studio space, which are lost when on display. This means I can share with my audience the experience I have with the art.
In straddling the line between work in progress and final display, I want to see how people will respond to the work; whether they view it at a comfortable distance, or actively move the hangers around and view each piece.
