Formation/Reformation

About

The artworks in this exhibition reflect Jonathan’s interest in the (in)stability of sculptural forms and in particular the emergence of firstly, a new form that has no formal antecedents (e.g. Groundless Grid 2017, ’88’ 2014); secondly a new form produced by the reformation of a pre-existing form (e.g. Folded Door 2007-15, Ideograms 2017); thirdly, a new form produced by memory images of pre-existing form (e.g. Marble Mattress 2014) and fourthly, a new form produced on the surface of a pre-existing form (e.g. Machine Gestures 2015). The creation of the artworks in this exhibition have opened a way forward for Jonathan’s artistic practice concerning the discovery of new artificial forms within pre-existing natural forms.
