In Triangle Andrea Eckersley and Dell Stewart reject hierarchical distinctions between art and craft to explore the dynamic interplay between their diverse practices.
Using the spatial form of the triangle, Stewart and Eckersley explore the cross-overs in their visual language and their creative processes. The triangle’s peculiar geometry exemplifies the drift between two, three and four-dimensional space that is common to both artists’ work. This fine line between art, craft and fashion also marks the distinction between product and process.
Opening Thursday 29 April, 6pm
To be opened by Karen Rieschieck, Director of Alice Euphemia.
