This exhibition showcases the work of artist and curatorial partnership, Anne Eggebert and Polly Gould. Their works explore the anxiety surrounding existential human questions of how we find our place in the world and take a look at the representation of place and space as both threatened and threatening. Anne Eggebert’s pieces use highly detailed drawing as a device to collapse distance and time. Working with images from Google Earth, she makes repeated hatch marks to explore distant landscapes, places which were once familiar which are no longer visited.Polly Gould makes distorted topographical watercolour paintings of Antarctica, on sandblasted glass, which reflect onto the surface of silver globes. When reflected, these miniature inverted panoramas, assume proper proportions and perspective and appear as little worlds from elsewhere. An example of Eggebert-and-Gould’s collaborative work is Darwin – a small photo-montage of images selected from digital photographs taken from either 3 or 33,000 feet, during Gould’s journey through Australia. These images were emailed to Eggebert back in the UK, where she assembled them into an aerial view of how she envisaged Darwin might be. The resulting image is a jewel-like mosaic of an imagined place built from fragments of reality. Meet the artists at One Church Street Gallery, Sunday 16 September 3-5. pm
