Glynnis McDaris "In time and with water"
Blackston
This event has ended.
Blackston presents In time and with water, a solo exhibition of new photographs, video and sculptural works by Glynnis McDaris.
Drawing from the artist's own symbolic visual vocabulary, McDaris presents a new body of work focused on two seemingly paradoxical elements: architecture, as the essence of contrived form, and water, the ultimate in protean materiality.
The artist's sculptural and image-based works in this exhibition employ a repeated wooden architectural detail to evoke and reference a fully built environment. In her photographs and drawings, a lattice detail, which connotes a unique cultural and spatial association, is frequently obscured, eroded and deteriorated. Video works further edify a sense of movement and provide a meditation on passage. Each element presented is removed from its original source and specificity of place, and embodies an uneasy displacement, a sense of lost perspective and also newly formed spatial relevance.
Combining references to natural order, decay and the temporality of built environment, McDaris cultivates a poignant discourse on time and meaning, nature and creation -- and the relevance of what remains with the lapsing of time.
