Landscape; a space to think

1 February – 23 February, opening Thursday 31 January, 6 - 8pm

Artist Talk Thursday 21 February, 12.30 - 1.30pm

Through the construction of enclosed, kinetic, miniature environments, this project explores temporal experience and the metaphor of the landscape as a psychological space. Employing the use of the miniature and time-based operating systems, the works propose a way of referencing the virtual in relation to the real, the actual in relation to the pictorial, internal in relation to external, and phenomena in relation to process.

Ideas of memory, time and narrative are all considered. The work explores perceptions of transience, time and timelessness, investigating the nature of the symbolic landscape and its use as a potential tool to explore the expression of psychological spaces, whilst re-examining the European Romantic landscape tradition in a contemporary context.
