KERRIE POLINESS AND STEPHEN BRAM
Two Point Perspective and Black O Wall Drawings
14 May - 30 May 1998
Kerrie Poliness' Black O Wall Drawings — five individual, circular geometric forms — loom some three metres high. Drawn in marker pen directly onto the wall, they create vivid illusions of three dimensionality. To create the drawings, drafts-people are first asked to estimate points around a circle. The irregularities create odd and distinctive distortions in the drawings, which are different every time they are made.
Echoing early modernist architectural interiors, Stephen Bram's paintings also offer a perplexing exploration of space. In these works the artist has structured the pictorial plane with two vanishing points towards which all lines converge or diverge.
