SARAH LUNDY
Bio/ Statement:
“Lundys work mediates purely formalist concerns and contemporary conceptualism. Through the use of moving image, assemblage of quotidian objects and ephemeral performance materials, the works endeavor to negotiate provocative arrangement and questions autonomy in the face of homogenization. Her practice involves the production of stoic visual accounts of the experience of the individual’s independence through consideration of the inevitable synthetic systemization of language, labor, behavior & biology. The aesthetic is post-minimalist with a focus on eloquent paradoxes of form and function, and their relationship to the notion of identity. Drawing is a central concern in Lundys practice and observation and documentation of same in simple situation with inappropriate media ['Affected Respect', 2012, coffee stain traced in pen on plinth top, covered in glass plate]. Surfaces are often used in an exploratory manner with an ocular play on relief and it’s representation in respect to its physical and metaphysical reality. The significance of positive and negative space and substance is an ongoing investigation for the artist. Binary opposition is used as a core means of comprehension on one had whilst exploring contradiction on the other, as is evident in many of the works titles.”
