Exhibition dates. 15 - 26 Dec 2021
Opening night. Thu 16 Dec 2021, 6 - 8pm

Geometric Symbology is a new body of drawing and painting works inspired by archaeology, mathematics and language. The works use a range of media including the tools of writing – pens,pencils, and correction tape, as well as oil, acrylic and pumice mediums.
An alphabet of simple geometric shapes combine in endless ways to create new non-euclidean forms, that, like the impossible Penrose stairs, don’t make spatial sense. Abstract yet familiar, they could be electrical circuitry diagrams, navigational signs, or a strange, musical notation. Inspired by early human writing such as cuneiform, and fictional graphic languages of sci-fi films, these works act like tablets for a nonsense language or ancient formula, waiting to be understood.
