GAYNOR PERRY: March 2012

existing on the threshold between two states of being

A group show bringing together the work of four artists who share a bold and uncompromising attitude to life. To be alive means passing through a series of transitions; from conception to extinction nothing is ever static.

Embracing these transient states and refusing the safe haven of certainty allows each to be fully immersed in the sea of all possibilities; free to explore these inner changes without pre‐conceived outcomes.

Paula Day

As a visual kleptomaniac, Paula keeps and hoards personal and collected images recreating them through the act of translation.

Since a painted scene can never be the absolute translation, it is the loss between the act of looking and that of painting which Paula is interested in. Narratives and associations start to develop revealing the struggle between memory and forgetting.

Gaynor Perry

Gaynor delves into the visual world echoed in the dreaming mind. She treads a path where the impossibility of dreams remains possible and summons forth the emotional truth hidden in plain view.

Invoking these dream characters through various media, Gaynor aims to capture the fleeting moments between perception and imagination.

Stan

Starting from the premise that we mostly exist in two places at any one time, where conscious thought is only ever an observer of our actions, Stan looks behind the mind's constant babble to explore the inner drivers of this will and desire. Recognising the changing nature of this unspeaking underlying animal self.

Deborah Griffin

Deborah wields a confrontational politic and exhilarating sense of fun and transgression. This informs her current sculptural, installation and image based artwork, exploring the relationship between the simultaneous banality and violence of all that is beautiful and the poetic gravity of all that is ugly.
