EPLC series #2 in third composition | Petalia Humphreys
Low sheen interior acrylic on plywood
Height: 85cm. Width: 70cm.
EPLC series #2 in third composition presents us with a visual puzzle of sequenced patterns that wrap around hand crafted plywood cubes. The luscious candy-coloured work dismantles high formalism with geometry that floats in an illusory dance of shifting dimensionality. The use of mis-tinted paint references Humphreys’ local architectural vernacular.
Celebrating the legacy of material, Humphreys continues a genealogy of art making and woodworking - constructing site-specific built forms that map domestic spaces. Employing reductive abstraction, her playful architectonic installations respond to location, engaging the viewer to move around the work and the exhibition space it inhabits.
