Magdalena Bors
July 4 – August 1, 2008

“Homelands” is an exploration of the sublime in the everyday. As she goes about her daily activities, a woman inadvertently conjures elaborate imaginary worlds and improbable scenarios in ordinary domestic spaces.

“Object: Transience”
Matthew Watts
July 4 – August 1, 2008

Our corporeal nature. The objects that surround us. The notion and process of transience. In referencing aspects of consumerism and popular subculture, historical utopian ideologies present a contrast with current cultural materialism.

"Imagine if there was a crocodile as big as Milan"
Janey Xuereb
July 4 – August 1, 2008

Each of my pieces are solitary beginnings of stories and ideas, one-off imaginary moments of thought. Comprising of imaginary places, landscapes, situations, marine and wildlife. A fragmenting attention span results in my works only having one chapter, but also enjoying the idea of an open story.

Whilst we are bored, stressed or irritated something leaves the precision of our wakened state, and goes astray, but we do not fall asleep as there is a second stage. This stage is what Anton Ehrenzweig calls “dedifferentiation,” entering the oceanic. At this stage when we doodle we “are no longer part of the world routine; they are outsiders, between-the-two, inaccessible, invulnerable to dailly concerns” . Giving the feeling of comfort through the monotonous drawing and repetition in doodles.

Switching into a different time and space sublimates my boredom and stress of the situation and gives into the pleasures of repetition and its economies. My work is as much about the doodles created when trying to think of art work to create.
