Discription
In an explorative in situ installation, Chora Carleton presents Thickets and Clearings. Created in the gallery, the mural like drawing expands day by day. The work responds to what happens within the gallery as well as what is observed through the panoramic windows. Carleton’s approach resonates with the experience of the everyday. She gathers sensory misfunctions and fixations on colours, creating fragmented abstractions that are translated into swathes of colour punctuated by sharp lines.
This work was made in a one hour session marked by the date and time of it’s title. Each drawing responds to the enviromental and phenomenal experience I observed within that hour.
