Intimate Formations (Phase 3)
2010
Galway Arts Centre
‘Intimate Formations’ exists as a free hanging sculpture, continually expanded and altered whenever a new situation is presented exploring in minute detail the morphology of plants. The work was initially inspired by John Millar’s essay on ‘Drawings That Question Diagrams’ a procedural process that involves the selection of a diagram which is copied by hand, “over and over” again, that are compiled and presented in book-form or in this context as an expansive free-hanging drawing installation. These hanging ‘samples’ expand the parameters of the subject matter into typographic minutiae of biological forms that creates a space for visual intimacy experienced by the viewer.
