Object: Item / Object: Intent

Stephanie Shaw

13th April 2017 — 7th June 2017

Object: Item / Object: Intent brings together recent and newly created work from the Manchester based artist Stephanie Shaw that build relationships between borrowing, remaking and appropriation.

The artist searches for pre-existing imagery and found materials that strike a chord. She lives with these findings in the studio, constantly playing with decision-making processes. Finally the visual juxtapositions and interactions between materials and forms are discovered.

It’s through this method of sampling and re-mastering that make the works seem simple on the surface but with many more complex and uncertain statements disguising and camouflaging themselves beneath the painterly surfaces.
