Nestor's Advice. Installation. Dimensions variable.
In continuation with the body of work The Science of Imaginary Solutions exhibited as part of the Graduate Exhibition 2010 at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, Io Makandal resumes with An Imaginary Solution. Through specific mundane materials Makandal attempts to articulate a hybrid vocabulary of liminality between colour relationships and texture, public and private, and function and obliteration of function. Largely reliant on intuitive process, in the method of building, meaning is created. What is created out of the process is in a continuous state of development and decomposition simultaneously. The work lives in a constant state of flux; it is built, set, broken, and transformed with intention, achievement and failure to grasp the transient. In An Imaginary Solution one enters a living space of experimentation and variant of sculptural painting as theatre.
