Part by Part

Louise French, a recent graduate of Fine Art Painting from the National Art School, Australia, is interested in the life-cycle of objects.

This exhibition will present a series of paintings and assemblages that engage the viewer in the material qualities of the pieces, while they consider present and future artefacts. By using waste materials for assemblages, and as a source for painterly interpretations, the exhibition explores the tension between the aesthetic appeal of consumer objects which at the same time are a toxic token of our environmental crisis.

By dissecting contemporary waste and considering its continued existence hundreds of years from now, ‘Part by Part’ will act as a marker of time.
