GALLERY TWO: APR 29-MAY 16: A Permanent State of Flux… by Merryn J Trevethan
Gallery Two
A Permanent State of Flux… Merryn J TrevethanA Permanent State of Flux… is a site-specific installation focusing on the uncertainty of perception, the complexity of vision and how memory and knowledge affect what we see. Composed of wall drawings and paintings, paintings on canvas, free-standing sculptural forms and artist books, A Permanent State of Flux demonstrates the relativity of our vision, bringing the viewer’s attention to the act of seeing and the lack of logic in our perception. It acts as a reminder of the turbulence and limitations of visual perception, speaking of the insecure nature of seeing and encouraging us to experience, engage and see in the moment.
