Fay Nicolson OVER AND OVER PURE FORM

26 Jun-8 Aug 2015

Overview

This summer we are delighted to host Fay Nicolson, with her solo exhibition OVER AND OVER PURE FORM. Nicolson plays with the physicality of images and possibilities for formal and material transformation through repetition. Notions of process, documentation, narrative and abstraction weave throughout her practice, with final works existing as fragments of a wider aesthetic project. The title is taken from the diaries of Oskar Schlemmer, the Master of Form at the Bauhaus theatre workshop. This exhibition follows an upcoming show at Gerald Moore Gallery, where she will be presenting works developed as part of her residency at Eltham College. Works include a series of large-scale, rhythmic screen-prints connecting to textiles and the body. These print/paintings form the visual and architectural backdrop for photographic works that explore the possibility of developing an embodied aesthetic understanding through play and repeated gestures.
