We are in this techno-scientific world like Gulliver: sometimes too big, sometimes too small, never at the right scale.

Frederieke Taylor Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition, entitled Edge Conditions, of new works by Mary Lum. The exhibition will feature paintings, drawings, and collages, and include a large wall drawing that wraps around the gallery walls. The work is an ongoing examination of urban space in its transitional states and explores the way one experiences th­­­­­is space in contemporary life.

Mary Lum combines fragments of comic books and photographs with paintings to create visual abstractions of spatial memories and remnants. Layering multiple perspectives, the artist creates fictional spaces which allow the influence of memory, experience, and expectation to enter the process of interpretation.
