Marcus O'Donnell: The Adjacent Possible

Artist Marcus O'Donnell's hybrid traditional-digital prints explore pattern, chaos and complexity at the intersection of bodies, sexuality, and landscape.

The ‘strange appearance’ series overprints photogravure key plates onto multiple colour pigment prints of close focus details of flowers or foliage. This process creates micro landscapes and variants which change in colour and form as layers intersect. This exhibition uses three different key plates over a repeated sequence of the same twenty colour underprints.

These different approaches to variation, multiplicity and adjacency speak to both possibility and mutation: the open and the determined aspects of change and of printmaking processes. The title of the series refers to what philosopher Timothy Morton calls the 'strange strangeness' of perception in the age of the Anthropocene.

Join for opening night celebrations on Thursday 16 October, 5pm-7pm.
