From 'Paradise Apparatus'

'Paradise Apparatus'

Julia Rosa Clark at Whatiftheworld / Gallery

Julia Clarke presents ‘Paradise Apparatus’, the third show of a trilogy that includes 'Hypocrite’s Lament' (2006) & 'Fever Jubilee' (2007/8). The exhibition continues Clarks exploration of the intricate and fraught relationship with Nature focussing on the sensations and mysteries of chemistry, perception and colour as they relate to the search for fulfilment with references to aspects of science, alchemy, theatre-craft and art making.

Experimental and sometimes overwhelming, Clark’s installation comprises both two and three dimensional objects creating an experimental platform where with space, analogy, accumulation, repetition and co-operation are combined to extraordinary effect.

The artist will conduct a walk-about on the 6th and 13th of March.

 

03 February - 27 March
