Redfern 1970
|
|||
This
exhibition came about as a direct result of the Studio Shows Event. William Pye
the sculptor, who exhibited at the Redfern Gallery, saw my installation at West
Hill and recommended that the Directors come and see my work. John Synge came
to the studio and was impressed enough by the work to encourage Harry
Tatlock-Miller to see the work for himself. They offered me an exhibition to
commence 3 weeks later. This meant that there was no time to make new work and so
the work was shown in a very different context, as individual objects with no
real relationship to the space. The walls of the Redfern were covered with
hessian fabric which was very popular as a wall covering in the 1960s. The
effect of the darker walls was to identify the ‘object value’ of the paintings
that I had attempted to reduce at the studio. I thought that the paintings
might look too ephemeral in this situation but I was pleasantly surprised to
see that they had a substantial quality that I had not anticipated. |
