from effect to ideology and back again was exhibited at CIT Cork Institute of Technology 2000, and includes MA work from Winchester School of Art 1997-98.
This work represented a conceptualisation of my ideas concerning painting, particularly around issues of representation and abstraction. Through the use of different materials and a recognition of the importance of titles, for example, in the work sky blue the use of premixed and named household paint, exposes and makes use of a situation where the aspiration for a representation, the idea of the sky, was already set-up as a marketing strategy.
Documentation of the exhibition an investigation into the act of interpretation in relation to the area of representation exhibited at the Vizivarosi Gallery, Budapest, Hungary 1998 is also documented here.
