Hayley Brandon Some of it is transcendental, some of it’s just really dumb

Opening: Wednesday 18 March, 6-8pm Dates: 18 March – 4 April 2015

‘Some of it is transcendental, some of it’s just really dumb’ is an exhibition of new work by Hayley Brandon, developed from the journals, field recordings, conversations and brain chatter experienced while in residence in the United States. Approaching language as both a rigid and malleable material, the work considers how journaling may offer up a space to organise, unpack and make sense, and nonsense, from the everyday.
