Slightly short notice: COFA graduate Katherine Edney is holding her Masters of Fine Art Assessment Exhibition at the Ivan Dougherty Gallery in Sydney tomorrow, Wednesday 27 February, from 5:30pm.
A narrative or story is not static. This body of work of her attempts to respond the following question: how does one produce a pictorial narrative within a static medium such as painting? The contrast between painting and film, where painting is fixed while film is in constant motion throughout its duration, has had the most profound impact upon Edney’s work. However, whilst it is common for visual narratives to portray a specific passage of time and ordering of events, her work react against a familiar unity of time and place and is presented as a combination of several instances of time and place.
