Nonsites/Image Worlds

Kate Woods

Curated by Andrea Bell

12 March - 29 March 2008                                                                                                                              

What do you get when you cross 1970s Land art with kitsch pastel-hued landscapes? One artist’s fragmented fantasy of the crystalline sublime. Kate Woods’ works are made up of two elements. The first is a kitsch second-hand landscape, the second, a geometric cardboard model based on the photographic documentation of Land Art. Paying tribute to Land Art pioneers Carl Andre and Robert Smithson (among others), these models are then placed over the found landscapes and photographed, to create floating multifaceted and refracted forms in the context of sites than will never exist.
