Groundworks

Stevens01

The works included in Groundworks explore the potential of drawing and object making as tools to intervene and engage with public space, be it urban or rural. This exhibition comprises of a series of photographs and installations that respond to the moment that space and landscape becomes civilized or altered by people and the points of failure and possibility that ensue.

The works included in this exhibition are enacted in often empty or banal urban and rural spaces and act as a means of dissolving the predicament of placing oneself in an environment. They take the opportunity to explore possible ways of navigating and engaging with space; constructing means of utilising place in lateral and imagined ways.
