Description
In this exhibition, Kevin Yates deliberately sets up an experience of comparison in his work in which we question our reflexive sense of scale. For example, the large tree's scars as symbols of love, graffiti like rants and the naturalization of these words as they are absorbed by the tree. Yates is also interested in the juxtaposition of these two very different scaled objects and how we read the two as an installation as well as how we try to place together a stripped down narrative, and how stereoptypes come to the surface when we attempt to understand the work. Out of the Woods: a conversation between Kevin Yates and David Diviney.
