It seems in this exhibition, the artist has referenced her early paintings of empty or disused man-made buildings, and pushed that concept into the third dimension. The result is an excellent collection of wall and floor sculptures that bring to mind ancient artefacts and pieces of architecture collected by archaeologists for display in some museum. Then again, with a simple shift of viewpoint or tilt of mindset, the exhibits are seen as thoroughly modern geometric abstract constructions that can be appreciated for their clean lines, ideal balance and visual interest.

Patrizia Tonello's work has always held a sense of power in tandem with a suggestion of fragility. In these exhibits the artist has employed a variety of building materials including steel, cement, fibreglass, polystyrene, aluminium, cellulose fibre, and beeswax to create well composed objects that reference humanity's strength and/or susceptibility. Each intriguing exhibit is open to personal interpretation and contemplation. For example the wall sculpture Continuum involves an undulating white horizontally aligned faux concrete rectangle, with a rust red flat steel bar running through its centre. The word 'continuum' references 'a set order', or 'sequence that is uninterrupted', yet here the rough red bar seems to intrude into, and extend beyond a side boundary, of the smooth white block. Is it running into the host or emerging from it? Is the rusty bar invading the white block or is the block engulfing the bar? Are both entities part of a larger, ordered sequence? Thoughts to ponder while enjoying the perfect construction of the physical object.

Each wall work, and the amazing Sarcophagus set on the floor, is like a visual mantra as the more we look at them the more the eye sees and the mind perceives. Much appreciated is the cruciform shaped Vestment. Hanging proudly on the wall, it suggests thoughts on the sacrifices 'priests' of any ideology must make, from their inner emotions to outward appearances. However it is the excellent Riven that captured my spirit as this 'split' exhibit suggests how a rent in tired old beliefs will only reveal hints of new exciting trains of thought. Despite the rusted and torn metal, the doorway it creates offers a glimpse of shining new hope. I wanted to spend the day just sitting and looking at this particular exhibit. What seemed a 'simple' construction somehow had the ability to set mind and imagination free.

Do see this exhibition but make sure you have the time to sit, contemplate and enjoy the excellent presentation.
