In Memory Foam Judy Darragh presents a series of large photographic works continuing on from her 2021 exhibition, Competitive Plastics at Objectspace. The ten works presented bring the idea of close entanglements between body, mind and materiality front and centre. The human scale photographs reveal the circulation of meanings shared between object and body, drawing out close connections between the cellular and the often toxic and usually mass produced materials that Darragh employs. Plastics, polystyrene, foams and synthetics are depicted in forensic detail, flush against the wall to the viewers height testing different states of visual relations. While links between synthetic and biologically active components are the subjects of current scientific research, it is through the visual senses that Darragh reveals her interest in these multiple states.
Opening Hours
- Tuesday – Friday, 11am – 5pm
- Saturday, 11am – 3pm
Address
- 16 Putiki Street
