Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This large-scale installation features a striking black hammock suspended from the ceiling, creating a striking visual contrast against the white walls of the gallery space. The hammock appears to be woven from a coarse, industrial-looking material, lending it a raw, unfinished quality. The piece's minimalist design and monochromatic palette evoke a sense of contemplation and introspection, inviting the viewer to consider the relationship between the natural and the manufactured. The artist's intention may be to explore themes of rest, relaxation, and the human need for refuge in a modern, industrialized world. ...

Deborah Joyce Holman is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans sculpture, text, installation, image-making and film. Through her work, Holman investigates linguistics, authorship and strategies of refusal, such as opacity, perhaps taking reference from Édouard Glissant’s notion of Opacité. She also explores the blurring of fact, fiction and truth as a means of contending with the trappings of visibility, hypervisibility and (mis)representation. Holman has been interested in the figure of the trickster, who can operate within the framework of power but does not conform to societal ‘truths’, fluidly operating in the interstices, the in-between space. Holman is also a curator, having commissioned several solo exhibitions and programmed talks, concerts, texts and DJ mixes. ...
