about
Landscape of Surfaces
Objects have a life of use, gaining character and knowledge on their surfaces through the relationships and purposes we have of them.
Landscapes have come to be a mode of understanding surfaces, of any scale, as a fabric which can be altered or covered with various types of maps and representations, all in turn underlining key observations and questions of what is real and what is representation (or the lack there of distinguishability).
And so, the Landscape of Surfaces is a static nature, of sorts, through which a show-and-tell structure pedestalises mundane objects and surfaces from public space. If you will, this is the real world dilated, with much more breathing space among the objects (just like you would give a painting white space around it).
