Warkworth Artist Holds Solo Sculpture Exhibition in Helensville

3rd-24th March 2018
John Mulholland
Artist statement | separation in space

In art as in life, it is the gaps between things that best express their relationship - gaps explicit and gaps implied. Separation in space explores the gap between individualism and sociality and how this difference, particularly in the age of social media and virtual worlds, creates a statuesque loneliness in the midst of group solidarity. Increasingly it seems we are together apart, relating to one another while simultaneously being lost in private thought.
