Carl Warner still/silent 22 March – 29 April 2017
still/silent The bulging curve of the mirror collects a landscape that we couldn’t otherwise see. The details float against the sky held up by blockwork. The mirror remains forever on, the effort to imitate continues though the dangers they were set to reveal are no longer imminent. Empty spaces, empty rooms the poetry of the past reflected for as long as they remain forgotten. Carl Warner March 2017
