BLOOD FISH AND BONE
Blood fish and bone is an organic, slow-release fertilizer derived from the by-products of slaughterhouses and fish processing plants. It is used to replenish a system under pressure.
The visual definition of pressure? These paintings signal a world building exercise, made in a constellation of themes that net mapping, deep sea, aquatic science, geology, landscape history, gardening, anatomy, weather, all reflected in how the paintings fold in on themselves. If the fold is about taking out the edges, then I am invested in where the boundaries get confused, the edges of myself and the body and space around it.
Exhibition opens Thursday this week, 23rd April 6-8pm
