Anna Bingham | Annamarie Dzendrowskyj Recollect

 

Anna Bingham | Annamarie Dzendrowskyj   Recollect 2 - 14 July 2024 Private View: Wednesday 3 July, 6 - 8.30 pm One Paved Court | 1 Paved Court | Richmond TW9 1LZ   RSVP Recollect combines two solo presentations under one roof, with Anna Bingham and Annamarie Dzendrowskyj sharing the unique exhibition space of a sensitively restored Georgian building. The artists respond to the exposed walls at One Paved Court that hold memories of the building's past with individual contemplations on our intrinsic connection to our environment. Anna Bingham describes her ceramics as holding spaces for memories of place. As they grow and change throughout the making process, the vessels themselves become metaphors for the interplay of fragility and strength. Whether sketched and planned or spontaneously assembled, with the plants that inspired them evident or abstracted, Bingham reflects on the perennial cycle of life both in sculpture and in painting. Annamarie Dzendrowskyj's practice is centred on capturing fleeting moments between presence and absence. Her current body of work is based on photographs she took in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area shortly after much of it was destroyed by bushfires, highlighting both the beauty and precarity of the Australian landscape. An interpretation, rather than a reproduction, her paintings explore the interplay of darkness and light to highlight that one cannot exist without the other. With Annamarie Dzendrowskyj drawing inspiration from ancient landscapes existing despite human intervention, and Anna Bingham's work highlighting the benefit of gardens and green spaces on human wellbeing, Recollect serves as a reminder of the interdependence between humans and nature. Recollect is part of a series of exhibitions hosted by White Noise Projects, a group of emerging and mid-career artists who showcase meticulously chosen artworks through a series of group and solo exhibitions.   Established in 2017 by mixed media artist Hanna ten Doornkaat and painter Annamarie Dzendrowskyj the collective curates exhibitions centred around themes pertinent to contemporary artistic practice, and in response to exhibition spaces that surpass the idea of the white cube.
