Opening Celebration: Saturday 15 August, 3PM
In Illuminations (I left on a Wednesday after a Terrible Row) Josey Kidd-Crowe contemplates desire for isolation and escapism.
For Kidd-Crowe the process of painting is as important as the finished piece, the work often appears hurried, the catharsis palpable. As well as being a form of emotional release, the paintings also have the feel that something brief and difficult to grasp is being sought.
Kidd-Crowe also installs found objects along side drawings on magazine pages. Used nostagically as mementos of the past they suggest an ambiguous sentimental value. Depending on how the objects are placed, this feeling of nostalgia is treated with either disgust or melancholy.
Illuminations approaches the desire for an escape with optimism, with the view that it may lead to positive transformations.
