New York based artist exhibits in Sydney as part of Art Month Sydney 2011
'Ever' is an exhibition which features new works by Sydney born and New York based artist, Simone Douglas. Trained at the College of Fine Arts, University of NSW and at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, Simone Douglas has been exhibiting since the late 1980s. Her work is increasingly concerned with the de-stabilising of form such that its resultant appearance is one of uncertainty.
- (1888PressRelease) February 05, 2011 - The 'Ever' series forms part of an ongoing body of work by New York based photo artist Simone Douglas and coincides with Sydney's Art Month 2011 Festival.
Ever is an investigation of photography in relation to the sublime, excess, immateriality and the perceptual uncertainty of the photograph itself.
The 'Ever' images mark small events as potential acts of immensity. The images play with the ambiguity of appearances, utilising the contradiction between objective and subjective vision to explore the poetic aspect of photography.
'Ever' alludes to a mythical and spiritual relationship with the landscape and forces of nature as proximity and distance collapse. Crystalline, elemental cloudscapes, ruptures and fissures in the land form these cryptic images which are 'real' shots, but abstract in appearance and idea.
The works are micro in scale yet macro in vision and concept. Ocular perception, light and duration inform the conceptual basis for these images. The artist is looking at different modes of visual knowledge, and at how notions of image, perception and illusion can inform a view beyond site and seeing.
Simone's work will also be exhibited in 'Photography and Place', curated by Judy Annear at AGNSW from 17th March - 29th May 2011.
