The Jerwood Space plays host to an exhibition curated by Clare Twomey: Formed Thoughts explores the collaboration between maker and material.
‘Material use is a given in the making of art and craft objects. In this curation I address the use of materials from artists who predominately make contributions to practice within the areas of material specific works, engaging the materials as co authors.’ Clare Twomey, 2011
Works on display will include new work in Glithero’s Burn Burn Burn series, in which a flame travels over a path of flammable screen-printed paint, leaving behind it a charcoal trace which reveals the memory of a moment that has already passed. Phoebe Cummings’ Vanitas explores the possibilities of clay as a raw material, disregarding notions of ceramics as a studio-based practice and as permanent possessions. Her installation will be constructed on site at Jerwood Space, where the work will be left to disintegrate and be broken down over the course of the exhibition. Tracey Rowledge will create new work for the exhibition, drawing directly onto the gallery wall over a 10-day period. Her solid graphite wall drawing, Surface, creates a reflective plane that captures and subdues the light and the movement in the gallery space.
The exhibition looks like a must for anyone interested in the craft of art. Visit the Jerwood Space website for more info. Gallery opening times: Mon – Fri 10am – 5pm, Sat & Sun 10am – 3pm
