Empty Houses on the Coast

WHY VISIT

The artist’s paintings ‘A series of empty houses’ are deep multidimensional structures containing improbable transpositions of time and space. She re-assembles the fragments of memory that she has gathered from the shoreline. We are drawn in to the structures and we find ourselves surrounded by floors made of ice, windows through which we can see a raging sea by moonlight and where, the sea itself is advancing in to the room and we are really standing on a beach. Viewrs could be active participants in a multi-faceted space where gravity has been suspended. Film stories are fiction, but when those single frames are assembled and viewed together they create the powerful illusion of having witnessed an 'event', no matter how unlikely that event might be. 'Empty Houses on the Coast' leaves me with exactly that sensation of having witnessed the improbable come to life.
