Island Christian Edwardes 7 February - 15 March 2009 New work Island by Dorset-based artist Christian Edwardes is presented at the entrance to aspex. A series of ideological islands make reference to the separation between an idea of utopian 'place' and homemade attempts to reconstruct it. The photographed constructions are made from materials found in the home: from the contents of kitchen cupboards to domestic furniture. The islands set out the possibility of a transformation of space and physical 'stuff' through the act of making and representing these objects. Christian is working towards a practice-based PhD at Chelsea College of Art & Design.
