We are looking forward to opening Aimée Parrott's exhibition, The green fuse drives the flower, at CAMPLE LINE this autumn.
Please join Aimée and our team for the exhibition preview on Sat 3 October, 1.30-4.30pm
Across both floors of our building, Aimée will present a new body of work through which she continues to explore transitional and dual states of being and processes of transformation, transference and exchange.
Monotype printing combines with dye, appliqué, staining, and stitching, producing surfaces that bear the physical imprints of time, gesture and touch. Aimée describes her approach to making as ‘an ebb and flow, a kind of listening, paying attention. And letting things happen.’ Biological, ecological, cosmological and geological frames of reference collide and jostle, finding their way in to her work as forms and repeating motifs such as shells, plants, cells, orbs, feathers, seed heads and fossils, and as beguiling washes and tones that hover and hold in a constant balancing of part and whole, surface and substance. Aimée completed the paintings for this exhibition during the rolling heatwaves this summer, and in them there is a tangible sense of heat rising and swelling, of thin sound carrying across dry air. The impression is of slower, incremental movement, parts entangled; low-emitting orbs and voids transit amidst fibres, extrusions, strands and sprays of particle chains rendered as strings of thick dots.
