Einfühlung is a collaborative exhibition of six artists whose work involves engaging in emotional identity. Their work ‘feels into’ matters of light and darkness both physically and emotionally and explores internal and external spaces.
About the artists...
Corrine Butler
The work that Corrine Butler will be displaying in the Einfühlung exhibition intends to draw out the emotions created when an individual is presented with an image of naturally selected beauty. These photographic works portray a selection of diverse colours, and naturally formed patterns in scenes that will never occur in the same formation again, they are a creation of natural selection and are a moment of incandescent beauty captured in time.
Janine Siddall
Siddall's 'Love Seat' is about reclaiming a history, a self and creating a new memory and a new dialogue. By exploring the emotions vested in personal artefacts, the connected memories and histories she hopes to illustrate the influence of object and space on the self. She attempts to uncover a universal connection in loss, continuation and fragility. The drawing process utilised is meticulous and offers a space to reflect the thought pattern during the deconstruction and assembling of the 'love seat'.
Vic Wiggers
Wiggers explores the narrative in portraiture and seeks alternative languages to express these forms. Her latest work is a piece that expresses character through the form of the dandelion. The dandelions character is representative of the artist and in this piece Wiggers is investigating ideas of beauty and class. Wiggers believes by looking at objects in a different way our perceptions and relationship with them change.
Sue Liles
Creative exploration of the power and complexity of emotions stimulates this artist’s work. Introspection (2012) was inspired by the frailties and strengths, darkness and light of our inner feelings. The sculptural use of wire embraces the physical confines our body can create and the intensity and constraints our emotions can instil even when we yearn to break free….
Sue Green
In her practice, artist Sue Green strives to create a certain tension in her work, through exploratory questioning, and exposing contradiction and extremities, new tensions are created, often leaving a sense of chaos which in turn can form a new synthesis. Three new paintings by the artist, and a quirky, site specific piece has been created for the exhibition.
Rachael Hand
Hand's work occupies the hinterland between art and science, playing with ideas of time and scale, and exploring the metaphorical, artistic, and scientific meanings of light, vision, observation and understanding. In Turning to Face the Sun (2012) the effects of an astronomical phenomenon on a domestic interior are both recorded and revealed in a series of captured moments.
