DARKLING

About

Darkling Lindsey Bull Curated by Laura Mansfield Peer critique led by Laura Mansfield : Thursday 18th October, 6pm Preview: Thursday 18th October, 7pm — late Exhibition Continues: Friday 19th — Sunday 28th October, Thurs — Sun, 12-6pm daily Darkling, defined in simple terms as ‘in the dark obscurely' or ‘enacted in the dark' alludes to a state of uncertainty where the outlines of a figure, movement or action become submerged into the darkness that surrounds them, resulting in inconclusive and fragmentary images that rest between the seen and the hidden. The series of paintings for Darkling continue Lindsey Bull's investigation into occult practices, myth and magic. The notion of darkling permeates the work, a push and pull effect of becoming and disappearing as the figures slide in and out of definition, inhabiting a liminal state of both the seen and the hidden. Lindsey Bull was awarded this solo show at the M/FP National Open, 2011.
