Thursday will see the opening of the exhibition I have put together with Susan Massey at Wolstenholme Projects in Liverpool. We have done it all on a shoestring (kindly provided by WP) but it's looking good and I'm excited to see it up.
The exhibition text has been kindly written by Jo Moore, a Liverpool-based artist, writer and curator who also runs peachtree, peartree press.
"We place our trust in objects, which quietly receive us. The chairs onto which we fling our tired bodies. The doors that glide open as we approach, permitting us to never break our stride. The bookshelves, which quietly bear their loads: the plant-pot and the flower.
Returning from the outside world, I take off my shoes, I hang up my bag. I survey my living-room: the chair, the chair, the little red table; the dining-table, the window, the waste-paper basket; the horrible curtains, and, beyond them, the houses across the street, which look like dolls’ houses, quaint and somnolent. Nothing has changed. These objects, which I trusted to be still and to behave, and not transform, or dance around, or float towards the ceiling, have not betrayed me."
