crossing, still. The experience of being slowed then held at a rural crossing before a passing train is both one of awakened senses to the surrounding world (the rhythmic disruption of sight and sound), and, of suspension, where one’s sensory attention to the world turns inward – the mind drifts elsewhere, waiting, waiting in complete stasis as the world rumbles past. It is a holding point and crossing of world lines. In this exhibition of new works by David Scott Armstrong, the “crossing” of stillness and movement finds at its material and metaphoric intersection – the printed trace, or what is left behind in the wake of intersecting world lines. Lengths and pieces of copper wire, a cracked ceramic bowl, discarded glass telephone insulators dug up from the ground, and lengths of green tape are the material elements which intersect in these printed images. They are works which reveal themselves variously through a gradual unfolding, and, all at once, through “stickiness” and “unbecoming”. Such is the tenuous nature of the image, and in the view of the artist, such is the medium and materiality of print.
images from the exhibition will be posted shortly
