Bringing together collages of radiographs by Lindsay Caldicott, staple sculptures by Tomomi Yamakawa, and collages on paper by John Armleder, this exhibition explores the transformation of fragments into new visual and material configurations.

Through distinct processes of accumulation, repetition and recomposition, the three artists, bring individual elements into new relationships and meanings. Armleder’s collages bear witness to his Fluxus influence, and early exploratory research. They reflect his experiments with chance, indeterminacy and various iconographic references; Yamakawa transforms ordinary stainlessteel staples into delicate architectural structures; while Caldicott assembles fragments of photographs and radiographs into intricate, repetitive and fractal compositions.

The dialoge between these works invite a reconsideration of how forms emerge, and how new visual languages can be constructed from existing materials.
