Clerkenbakewell

The artist constructs optimal viewing areas for the presentation of video works. For this project The artist presented ‘exhibition/work title' which seeks to deal with the idea through experimental conventions and reference poetry. The piece reveals embedded fantasy and sexuality and functions as a topical monologue, a story and narrative. Also presented is 'untitled: painting’ (date). The artist returns in spirit, after recent shows. New works show ideas which refer to an absence of the signifier. The artist is based in a city and was recently part of the ‘exhibition title’ exhibitions. (date). For ‘exhibition title’ the artist has created a video which examines the darker side of the vortex. The artist graduated this summer from the School of Art and is now finishing a diploma. The artist's work questions the transformation of reality in mass produced imagery. The artist brings her intentional fakery for the first time. The artist is one of a group of sculptors including Artist 1, Artist 2 and Artist 3 who have built a reputation for flamboyant artworks. Whilst the work often suggests a vision of the underbelly, it remains captivating and humorous. The artist uses material to create art objects. Central to the practice is the categorisation of the medium by its formal qualities rather than subject or content. 'Exhibition title' was the latest in a series of collaborative site-specific projects using a wide variety of materials by The artist currently based in two cities.
