In this elegant exhibition Polly Gilroy has assembled a body of work that cultivates the space between us, and explores the many faces of colour through sensory and perceptual experiences. Intriguingly titled ‘In absence of’, these works are elusive. Soft hazes of silk slowly engulf colours whilst selectively capturing and amplifying light.

This new series brings the stretcher bars and support structures into the formal composition, offering viewers something to look at as well as something to look through and beyond. Unseen hues fall away, margins interweave while veiling and unveiling sun-faded layers. The quiet works create a contemplative space, encouraging the viewer to question, ‘in absence of’ what?
