Really excited to be showing some work in this show curated by @laura_bygrave and @crockeralex opening August 16th, 2-6pm at @asylumstudiosuk
This show brings together works of heads, faces, and portraits. These are heads bitten into by a desire to lay down blocks of colour, the proximity of zones of colour next to other zones, brushing, wiping, smearing, thinning. These actions dismantle, distort and dissolve the structure of the head, pushing it through a process. It is now a ‘headitie’, to borrow Maria Lassnig’s term to explain what is left after stripping away of features of a face and thinking of a head as a set of formal units of sensation, leaving us with ‘’cheek-shields, brow-shields and neck cylinders”.
