Bringing together collages of photographs and 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 engage with the interplay of forms and visual references; Yamakawa transforms an ordinary industrial material into delicate in size, but brutalist in shapes, sculptural structures; while Caldicott assembles fragments of photographic and anatomical imagery into intricate and fractal compositions.

Moving between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, the intimate and the monumental, the organic and the manufactured, their works invite a reconsideration of how forms emerge, and how new visual languages can be constructed from existing materials.
