The series of large photo-etchings, Forms of Being are suggestive, rather than descriptive, of rooms with walls, and spaces defined by light and shadow. She combines digital photographs taken in her studio of fabric hanging figuratively and then etches over these with metal plates covered in grey paints that gives the images an industrial tones and also ghostliness.
The works are huge and occupy the GPS gallery space well. The exhibition was a really inspiring sight and encourages the abstract and figurative to combine in works that command contemplation.
