Gemma Anderson : Isomorphology

8 Feb-6 Apr 2013

Overview

Anderson propagates interdisclipinarity where two seemingly polarised fields coexist within a shared framework, where for her, neither one can subsist without the other. Through etchings; drawings; ceramics; film; photographs; photograms; and inimitable mathematical models, Gemma Anderson introduces us into a self-conceived realm of Isomorphology. A term coined by the artist, the body of work shown in this exhibition stems from a mathematical and biological principle of isomorphism based on the shared characteristics of ‘form’. In Anderson’s case, her experimental enquiry compares the shared forms of animal, mineral, and vegetable morphologies or compositions.
