‘High on the Hill, Deep in the Valley’, oil on gesso canvas.
Gillian Cooper, contributing artist will be showing a temporary installation in the Quiet Space at Tremenheere, entitled ‘PASSING’, made using light and 50m stretch elastic.
'Passing’ is an ephemeral boundary, which catches, sifts, and allows light to pass whilst also casting a shadow on the other side, much like a dream catcher catches nightmares and lets dreams through to the sleeping,
Biography
Installation, painting, drawing and printmaking explore the point between dichotomies; internal/external, public/private, sinister/beauty. Domestic materials and objects sited in both galleries/marginal spaces (window ledges, cracks in floorboards), appear to intervene; to emerge from the fabric of the building/landscape. Often in series; hand-made; temporary, transitory, at times subjected to the elements; to audience interaction. Influences: female, gender, social, cultural, domestic, temporary, minimalism, colour.
