Exemplar Response 1
Weathered Life Continuum is an investigation of surfaces using the materials of the built environment, subtle painted surfaces, collographs and 3D forms to suggest the impact of time. Ideas of order and control are represented in the found objects, which are reborn as precious objects. The concept is informed by a complex and sophisticated understanding of formalism and abstraction in artmaking practice. The techniques of scumbling, rubbing back, washes and impasto create rich and layered surfaces, evocative of weathering, erosion and age. The work is restrained and highly selective, inviting closer attention and questions about what is real and what is implied. Viewers can make connections between the works, their own experiences, the land, built environment and notions of the past and memory.
