NICOLA POMERY : Observation Post

2 Jul-25 Jul 2010

Overview

Nicola Pomery, (the winner of studio1.1's 'Lottery Show... it's not who you know' for 2010) will be presenting videos and related drawings. The former, shot systematically during the working day from her window record and re-codify the life outside as an archaeologist might the items reclaimed from site (sic). While a series of automatic drawings is triggered by the intermittent landing and take off of birds on the lawn in front of her (the paper the exact proportions of the garden). Thus in the videos, the artist re-organises the world perhaps counter-intuitively, dividing and classifying; while in the drawings the world organises her mark-making against the impulse of the observing artist.
