In this new object based installation, Ruth McConchie explores the links between personal histories, processual and material obsessions and specificities of site. Her project develops from a fascination with notions of privacy and secrecy in relation to space and examines the sensitivities and nuances of trespass and the illicit. For Standard Oil Company; He has prickles on his face, McConchie re-imagines and modifies the gallery to create a complex dialogue between arrangements of objects, forms and interconnected spaces.
