1:1 - Beth Arnold
Victoria Park Gallery
29 Nov- 15 Dec 2007

Investigating urban space and its temporal changes and movements, Beth Arnold’s 1:1 is a meticulous reinterpretation and reconstruction of an outdoor concrete environment. Featuring plaster casts of discarded objects amidst photographed sections of pavement and rubble, the installation, all sectioned into a highly analytic floor grid, complements the rear space of Victoria Park Gallery. A meditative look at the contemporary landscape, 1:1 is a poetic contemplation of the inherent complexities within our inner-city environment, where discarded and forgotten objects lose their initial purposes and shift through space as debris, still physically present, yet drifting into the spaces between human-defined usefulness.
