Fragmented Parts, Mental Debris

About

Challenging material, surface and structure as a point of reference, Porter, Channon and Lauterwasser examine personal perception of environment through their own bodily and material experiences.

The exhibition explores ideas of rebuilding and disassembling, and how this exists across the physiological and psychological. Finding a commonality through the sensitivity embedded in these repetitious actions, the work brings together the fragmented and the whole; the intimate and the immense. Through physical gestures, such as cutting, cracking, layering and re-forming, handmade and traditional processes are repurposed and re-imagined into a material language that expands formal conventions of printmaking, painting and textiles practices.
