We are proud to present Wayfinding, the debut solo exhibition by British artist Amelia Bowles (b. 1993).
Amelia’s work sits between sculpture, painting and architecture; making use of the activity of light, colour and form, she claims the void and what is immaterial to facilitate the conditions for a series of physiological, cognitive and perceptual encounters.
Wayfinding, a word that relates to both ancient navigation practices as well as urban signage, hints at an attempt to navigate these encounters, both for the viewer and the artist herself.
The pathways that emerge can be seen as meticulously precise borrowing from the language of diagrams, architecture and engineering. But within her approach also lies a softness, an intuitive curiosity which makes the resulting experience feel contemplative and transportative rather than simply directional.
Amelia’s Wayfinding relishes the journey and the infinite perceptual possibilities of a world that is simultaneously vast and intimate, a world with no end-points.
