5 - 29 September 1996:
GAS

Joanne Harris

GAS presented works of hesitated meanings, elided links, where implication and the nearly voiced were generated by and between the component elements. A recurrent image was one of covering - where a form is both echoed and obscured by its 'cover' in this case clothing and cloth (the cover being a form in itself). This was also suggested through the generation of a wall of brown paper describing geometric shapes but at the same time suggesting patterns from which something else would be generated. Surfaces both attracted then resisted, a function echoed through the use of language where it attracted with the possibility of naming or titling, but then remained resolutely itself as a combination of vowel and consonant, not as a direct signifier of immediate meaning. This was subtle non-immediate work with a strong poetry.
