THE ANSWERING MACHINE
Lee Welch, The Marriage of Reason and Squalor, II
Seeing and drawing and touching and feeling. Seeing and feeling and touching and drawing. Feeling and touching and drawing and seeing over and over again.
Kirsty Buchanan's first solo show comprises of an installation of drawings made whilst blindfolded; she choses to close her vision to allow the imagined out more forcefully. Through this action every drawing is a surprise, a moment of discovery yet each drawing has its own repetitive language encoded within it. As if the walls of her imagination want her to know the same thing over and over again. Here desire, fantasy, imagination ask no questions-they want just to see the depictions of abstract, naughty, awkward pleasures and the hands mercifully deliver.
Working in close collaboration with the curator, Buchanan's drawings are introduced to a different mode of display in this show, by the introduction of objects that have specifically arisen from her work and the acknowledgement of the specificity of location.
