Screening can mean to present information or to obscure it. ‘The Image Screen’ is an exhibition of 'to scale' photographs of framed screens. There are photographs of screens applied to windows to obscure aspects of an interior and photographs of electronic display screens designed to generate and present imagery to us. All the screens are damaged or ruptured in some respect and traces of this damage are visible on the surface of the photographs. Despite the contrast in their function and appearance the disturbed patterning on the surface of each screen establishes strange and unusual relationships with the next; horizontal lines rhyme with vertical lines, grid like surfaces are counterbalanced with organic erosion. The installation establishes relationships between the photographs that give the viewer an opportunity to develop new visual connections and experiences.
