Since first viewing Sherries work it has developed a great deal, but in a very directed manner which makes looking at the two new pieces exhibited very interesting, unlike other critiques i had not spent much time viewing the work before it was displayed and had little knowledge of the two pieces.
The two pieces themselves were placed on two sides of a corner creating a distinct tension between the two images, the way that the images were presented, with screen print overlapping the sides of the computer printed background gave the distinct impression that there was a continuation to the picture, like a triptic with the center image missing. this i thought was a very intriguing idea.
Many people were making reference to the fact that they felt like the images were "landscapes viewed through windows" and although i can see where this thought comes from i think it was a bit a strange conclusion to jump to, i think, though, that this was down to two elements within the pictures, firstly the choice of colour for the background, the pink and blue soft pastel colours that formed the background were very reminiscent of the ones you would see well looking a stereotypical "beautiful view" and the other was the layout of the pictures, although there was no definite distinction to tell you so, you could not help but feel that these were landscapes being depicted, yet the paper was portrait, an interesting twist that surprisingly you do not see that often.
The images themselves were intricate, delicately done abstract shapes, laid on top of a printed background, yet shapes is not the right word because there was deffinetly something more to the drawings, although i could not put my finger on what exactly.
As i said at the start, it has been interesting to see how Sherries work has developed in the past year and judging by those two pieces I'll be curious as to where it goes next
