Miles Hall Solid Liquid States 12 August – 5 September 2015
Solid Liquid States
I had an old sculpture lecturer at art school who used to refer to the life-model as being a ‘solid liquid state’. I thought this was a most poetic way to look at the human body and for weeks I couldn’t stop looking at my fellow students as a kind of walking jelly. Being interested in the ‘stuff of painting’ this term is perfectly apt to also describe the consistency of paint when squeezed out of a tube. Subsequently the title is a homage to the ‘issness’ and ‘stuffness’ of paint – it’s shared similarity to the physical constitution of our very own bodies. Miles Hall
