Those things that make your eyes blink

About

From the clean, geometric, 'heartily hued paintings' (The Independent) Katy Binks has created a new body of screenprints, that rather than seeking calm and order, embrace the confusion of visual stimuli we are confronted with in the modern city, and progresses towards sensory extremes. What is in essence black paint on white paper, lines and shapes, is perceived entirely differently. The viewer sees foreground and background, shapes trapped or hovering between the two, suggesting depth and space - but the presence of white borders draws your attention back to the fact that those are not spaces but images in themselves.
