My piece ideally would be viewed as one work spanning across two locations. This is in order for relationships to be built and a dialogue connecting the two spaces to be made. Another artist who has also made the same work in two separate locations is Ann Hamilton. The work parrallel lines/accountings consists of one being confrontational and full and the other of ‘lyrical emptiness (Hamilton, Bruce: 20)’.In contrast to the other artists who are presenting supporting works in the Cowgate space, the fact that my work is started and completed at and between the two spaces is significant. Each piece in the show becomes: a relationship situation, a point in time, an object in use, something disguarded. K Hunter (personal communication, 26th July 2010). It is up to the viewer to dictate their own narrative based on what is offered through the work through associations with materials, groupings and in relation to other pieces within the show. The walk inbetween the venues perhaps has a potential to heighten this sense of duality between two spaces. The break in the work is significant as it is the menadering between, and the things that happen between two spaces which become the more siginificant.
All the titles have meaning for me; I hope the viewer will consider the relationships between the materiality of the work as well as the concept to which the title refers to. The titles also give the work an identity which all the individual components of the pieces did not have before being used for their new role.
