STRATA - CARL GENT & HELEN PRADAS-PAGE
Strata brings together two artists who innestigate notions of accululation and the various languages these processes can create.
Carl Gent works directly with very specific rock dusts to discuss notions of Armageddon and Deep Space. Through geological research and correspondence with astronomical texts, the ages of various rocks are linked explicitly interact with these irrevocable distant bodies in a futile effort to leave the human position.
This frustration is echoed in the new work A List of Thinks I Don't Understand, a site-specific drawing/text-work that isolates the impossibility of understanding or even visualising many of the more exotic aspects present within contemporary scientific pursuit. The tools of paint, chalk, clay and language seem woefully inept at describing particles of spin 1/2, quantum chromodynamics or the uncertainty principle. The distance between human and quantum grows.
The work of Helen Pradas-Page is a series of sculptures and surface reliefs evolving from the accruing of 3-dimension units of bent, folded and twisted paper tubes to explore form and topologies, the kind that are constructed through a growing systems of physical rules and complexities.
Pradas-Page's work can be seen as a metaphorical exploration of accumulation and fossilisation. The slow gradual build up of sediment over millennia creates the varied structure that makes up our global habitat. It is this incremental licence and the formal possibilities that lie within this rulebook that Pradas-Page is exploring.
