I recently came across this exhibition at the Herbert Read Gallery, at UCA Canterbury. What i found appealing was the use of space, but also the simplicity the deck chairs created with the red yarn draped down... from a distance it makes quiet a bold statement, but up close its actually very fragile and the deck chairs look worn, with holes punched through the canvas, they have become transparent, and the yarn almost looks too heavy, against this tired chair.
Once i read the Artist Statement, the two words highlighted were "Display" & "Fragments" this really resonated with me, as display is something i am trying to observe and also experiment with, having a series of woven samples they can become lost, in the white space, a gallery offers, but the word fragment... Fragments being just pieces of something, for example a broken window, has fragments of glass... This was something i found really related to my concept of a Diary and is something i would like to take into consideration when developing all my research into a final outcome piece.
