Sharon Goodwin A Hiding to Nothing
Opening: Tuesday 12 July, 6-8pm Dates: 12-31 July 2011A Hiding to Nothing is an installation of works on paper that sees Goodwin extend her practice to incorporate elements of the random, destructive and chaotic.
Referencing medieval, Gothic and occult imagery, with their inherent promise of order and enlightenment, the carefully painted works are then cut, ripped, rubbed out, folded and screwed up; in effect, destroyed. Their following re-assemblage and repair sees them reborn into an imperfect yet final state. Redeemed from their destruction and in their reconfigured and damaged state, they are liberated from frustration and disappointment.
