Clytie Alexander "Diaphans"
Betty Cuningham Gallery
This event has ended.
The exhibition will be a comprehensive view of Alexander’s recent work, including approximately sixteen Diaphans and five drawings. Alexander’s Diaphans are painted, rectangular, perforated aluminum sheets which hang 4 inches in front of the wall, seemingly floating or hovering in an aura or reflected light. While spending time in India, she encountered pierced stone screens and her fascination with “permeable boundaries” has continued since then. Her work is not only focused on the surface plane but also on the relationship between the piece and the space around it. [The title “Diaphan”, which Alexander assigns to this series, comes from the Latin word “diaphanous”, meaning “to show through”.]
