‘Not Now’, my solo exhibition at Gallery Four, is a series of pieces derived from the effects of anxiety and depression, the potential for substance, the notion of bodily presence, absence, and residue. These artworks are an investigation into the ethical and aesthetic problems at the core of 'personal expression'. Fragility and vulnerability are defined by charred wood sculptures which hang in an ambiguous relationship to charcoal pigmented cement. Graphite, inherently dark and reflective, recedes from the viewer with intense introspection. Drawings that appear so heavily obvious as to make ascribing further significance dubious. Pointed and sheared polycarbonate rods are obstinately staged with expectant resolve.
