    'Caught in the locks of a tapestry, this scene of immediate helplessness ironically provides a weird kind of relief. Call it memento-mori if you must - but it’s the death of the machine that hooks me the most. Holding in a gasp - I’m thrown back to the first time I saw a car crash, dented into the metal fencing of a golf course,  my parents drove past while it rumbled ablaze.'
  • Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro

    Working as a collaborative duo since 2001, Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro's practice reflects a preoccupation with the dynamics of global mobility, fallout of consumer society, and contemporary notion of home.

    'If you could bite into this work - it’d taste like an overripe peach with juice fizzing down your throat. These brilliant windows Louise paints, I’d love to lean against them and slip into these saturated sunset worlds, not knowing top from bottom / falling or flying.'

    'The greatest tool in painting is colour, because colour has the greatest way of manipulating perspective.'

    willow charcoal on Hahnemühle paper
    50 x 35 cm / 64 x 50 cm
    'I do this experiment when approaching/making an artwork: I list out as many physical, conceptual, historical/contextual attributes I can about a material it’s made in- I think about it personified, what kind of clothes it would wear, the sound of its voice, and so on. In this way, Joshua’s charcoal works speak for themselves (in a warm and nostalgic voice, like dust settling into the grain of paper).'

    Becquerel daguerreotype
    8 x 10 in / 20.32 x 25.4 cm
    'This was one of the first works that truly grabbed me when I started working in the gallery. It reminded me of head rests used by tin type photographers for their subjects to lean still against over the notoriously long exposure time. There is an eerie sense of control surrounding these contraptions, and here control exists in the balance of the leaf while it burns simultaneously as candle destroys itself.'
