Renewal of an old work and commentary on the decision to call it finished are the bases of our online exhibition at www. svaf.co.uk

Today’s featured artists

Thanks @rosalindnldavis we loved the impact of #Bordercontrols in our gallery space @sevenoakskaleidoscope All audiences and visitors especially the school visits enjoyed a magical experience.
Wonderful for our SVAF artists to share with you and @justinjhibbs #artiststalks #artistmentoring #artistssupportingartists
Great to see #Bordercontrols impact in so many diverse spaces @noformatgallery @the_koppel_project

Repost @rosalindnldavis with @get_repost

Today is #isday @intsculptureday and so looking back on the #sitespecificinstallations @justinjhibbs and I did. #Bordercontrols was the title and made of #modular elements from both our practices. This album is the iterations for @sevenoakskaleidoscope and @noformatgallery and playing in the studio. Wonderful experiences and huge developments...

We are busy preparing the exhibition schedule for the gallery’s reopening in a couple of months. In the meantime the work of Sevenoaks Visual Arts Forum artists is included in our online exhibition ‘More than’.
14 artists donated work which was renewed in any way the recipient chose to make it their own. Alongside before and after images the artists thoughts can be found at svaf. co.uk

Here are some snippets.
Questions about the nature of the project were raised:
Can I present this work as my own?
What do I want from this activity?
I did not want to obliterate the original.
The project was absorbing and dangerous.
The potential of the disused item was transmuted... into something newly meaningful.

Uncertainty about the process came to light:
I wasn’t sure about the result wondering if I’d made the wrong decision.
It remains unresolved and experimental, a building block within a journey.
The project has forced me to let go.

Themes addressed suggested:
Questions about the visible and hidden realities of the human cost of2020.
‘Listen To the Whisper Of the Unseen And Open Your Eyes To the Elusive’.
Discordant elements come together in their controversial search for truth.
