The Indexx | Stewart Cliff
Small sculptural works assemble imagery lifted from printed material. Polished fragmentary aesthetic, scattered imagery on shaped surfaces instantly familiar yet unknowable.
Alluding to image making of the past, motifs often recall nature and still life. The resulting ghostly image can hold an allure for us in a world saturated with digital images.

Acrylic spray, newsprint transfer on mount board, wood

Transferring found imagery from printed material to create a new composition, Cliff’s work reflects the proliferation of imagery in the contemporary environment. The process of transferring the image results in an impression which is both delicate and soft, far removed from the crude printed imagery from which it was sourced. This resulting image recalls early photography suggesting the ghostly or obstructed image can hold the allure for us in a saturated world where power of digital imagery is lacking.
