What can I see here? The Doubt is a shadow, created in the mind of the viewer.Ī specialised wood working machine used to cut square holes into wood called a mortiser was the starting point.
These ordinary, discarded pieces of wood usually amount to rubbish, but hovering, suspended on wires, they form a trompe l'oeil, a double take. Wandering the streets of any city you come across the leaning object, a pallet, a broken piece of furniture, some building joists. A number of the participating artists describe their own experiences:Ĭornelia Parker, Shadow of a Doubt (Caledonian Road) (2012) This intimate encounter with artistic processes sheds light on how artists set out to give form to ideas – at times simply with optimism, at others with more deliberation.
These works could be loosely thought of as prototypes, or, as James Rosenquist once named a work of his, A Drawing While Waiting For an Idea. This group exhibition brings together a selection of works that are each manifestations of an early moment in the process of making.
