“Out Land Look Scape”
David Egan
29 May → 4 July 2015
Out Land Look Scape is an exhibition of paintings made with flowers and other plant matter, accompanied by a spoken poem, performed daily in the gallery by its staff and volunteers. The materials used to colour the canvases are sourced from public gardens, where flowers function as both decoration and distraction, grown to claim and prettily cover-up the land beneath them. The resulting paintings are materially animate, changing colour in time.
