Tracing Materiality is now in its final week, finishing up next Sunday 20 March with a discussion about Expanded drawing practices at 2pm, chaired by Megan Robson, (Assistant Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia) with artists Gillian Lavery, Renuka Fernando, and myself. Followed by finissage drinks at 3pm and Gillian Lavery will begin the erasure of her wall drawing. It's been an interesting experience so far and exciting to see the works grow, evolve and change during the course of the exhibition. Renuka has been working with colourful mixed media on long two long rolls of canvas and paper, Gillian has been continuing with her spiral pencil drawings on a large piece of silk and her extended circular arm span on the wall, and I've been working with loose ephemeral charcoal powder to trace movements in the space and textures in my beeswax paper installations. I hope you can join us for these closing events at Chrissie Cotter Gallery, Pidcock St, Camperdown NSW.
'Tracing Materiality' is a project and exhibition by Sydney based artists Gillian Lavery, Renuka Fernando and Kath Fries, exploring expanded drawing practices that move beyond drawing as representation to focus on materiality and mark making. The artists’ process-based approaches are open-ended, improvisational and unfolding within the gallery over the exhibition’s duration. This allows the inner workings and fluid nature of art practice to be visible to the audience. 'Tracing Materiality' emphasises the creative process above the end result by engaging meditative but not premeditated forms, transforming the gallery into an active environment where thinking, making and play are accessible to visitors. Working throughout the gallery space, utilizing the various surfaces of the walls, floors, windows and corners, the artists’ work will develop and evolve resulting in a survey of different mark making approaches of expanded drawing and process-based practices.
