DRAW CLOSE is an exhibition and architectural commission by Euphrosyne Andrews where the artist’s unorthodox approach to printmaking will be translated through a range of materials including prints, paintings, large format textile screens and aluminium sculptures. This new body of work uses the curtain as a central metaphor, exploring the ways materials frame our experience of domestic and public spaces.
A public sculpture on KARST’s facade takes the form of steel screens that cover the gallery’s entrance when closed. This combines with an exhibition drawing parallels between methods of screening in a broader sense, including the curtain’s associations with the intimacy of the domestic environment and theatre’s collective escapism. New works will make reference to the role that cultural, political and technological histories of decorative and applied arts have played in social change.
