Within the current economic downturn, the media’s concentration of the home as a symptom and symbol of the current economic downturn places an incontrovertible focus of the relationship between dwellers and buildings. The habitat in which we reside dualistically offers opportunity and restriction with the home and its extended environment becomes a centre for ritual, refuge or boundary.
‘Close To Hand’ focuses on investigations and processes of eight artists who continue to invoke the personal and physical relationship of their surroundings within their practices. Consistently exposing and exploring personal rhythms and rituals the exhibition celebrates the creative impetus that is the familiar and the overlooked within our everyday context and thereby prompts the viewer to ‘look again’ at the relationship with one’s immediate surroundings.
