Onespace invites you to the opening of mouth open, mouth closed, Stella Haycock’s first solo exhibition as an early career artist. Her conceptual installation will extend on her ideas surrounding abstraction and manipulation of alphabetic forms.
Through printmaking, painting, and installation she questions the conventions of reading and writing and highlights the potential for depicting alphabetic letterforms as individual entities. Haycock seeks to create space for the viewer to engage with each form as an entity of movement, shape, gesture, and detail.
The exhibition unfolds as a sensory experience across print and digital mediums. Delicate strokes of black ink cascade across walls, floors, and paper surfaces, transforming the gallery space into a captivating installation that beckons viewers to explore and engage with the artworks on a visceral level.
Opening Event: 17 May 2024, 6:30pm – 8pm | Artist Talk: 5:30 – 6:30pm
