Species of Spaces
Elam Grad Show (MFA)
Friday 19 – Sunday 21 February 2021, Auckland
This project explores the creation of space as a relational dimension between human interaction and our understanding of the world around us. In the tradition of Western genre painting, where a room becomes a site for inquiry, Species of Spaces examines the forces at play in the representation of an interior space. Utilising the basic compositional components of genre painting, such as a window, a mirror or a doorway melded with decorative elements and pattern motifs, to examine the influences we absorb and how the spaces we occupy shape our understanding of the world.
