Abstract:
2 etchings, titled I can see hear you 10 and 11 exhibited as part of a curated exhibition held a Tarpey gallery Castle Donnington. Tarpey Gallery curated ‘On Paper’, featuring 15 artists whose work revolves around working with paper in their respective disciplines of printmaking, photography and collage, each artist will be displaying between two to six pieces. I can still hear you is a continuum of thematics around the Sound Mirrors at Denge near Dungeness, these are giant concrete structures hidden in a desolate and austere landscape. These mirrors are the birth of radar: concrete listening ears invented to aid the early warning of enemy planes, eventually replaced by radar and rendered defunct. The prints talk of conversations lost, of people lost, of conversations never begun, of things we wished we’d said. Elusive ghosts and deep seated memories are brought into being. The imagery is part in-memoriam, part remapping. I use the term mapping not in the sense of a literal cartography but rather as a feeling and emotional connection with place.
