LON Gallery is delighted to present a solo exhibition of new works by Melbourne based artist, Grace Wood.

The works for this exhibition extend the artist's ongoing concern with the endless collection of images, both personal and public, and the way our understanding of the world is translated into visual mass. A collection of images are captured and recorded, altered and mythologised in these works.

Wood challenges the conventions of photography by presenting her photo collages as ambitious large scale installations, on ongoing method which will be further developed in her forthcoming exhibition.

In this exhibition, images hove personhood, images talk about themselves to each other, images record a story. The exhibition re-images the digital cloud to be a cushion, to be a bed, to be a soft, tactile thing. In this exhibition, images are made softer, printed onto fabric; made tougher, posted onto walls. Images are placed together, they relate to each other, they talk, they make friends. An image as on object as a person as a thing.

Our digestion of the world correlates with a collection of images. These are things we see and take photos of, save on web browsers, like on social media. These image items are translated passively from foreground to background as time posses, to become images sitting in a camera roll, objects which are and are not real, which exist in a vacuum, exist in a cloud, migrate into corners of technology, set up camp on page eight of a google image search, but are never discorded.
