The works in this collection are about trying to find and reveal space. What begins as a feeling for light and shadow is ultimately about a feeling for space and above all place. They seek to recover the impermanence of both known and unknown places. Kate Hunt 2012
t r a c e
“I would like there to exist places that are stable, unmoving, intangible, untouched and almost untouchable, unchanging, deep-rooted; places that might be points of reference, of departure, of origin… My spaces are fragile: time is going to wear them away, to destroy them… Space melts like sand running through one’s fingers. Time bears it away and leaves me only shapeless shreds:
To write; to try meticulously to retain something, to cause something to survive; to wrest a few precise scraps from the void as it grows, to leave somewhere a furrow, a trace, a mark or a few signs.” Georges Perec, Species of Spaces
