P-R-O-C-E-S-S*: RECENT WORK

Photographs, handmade books, and other objects

Lely Constantinople

Making work is a negotiation with

uncertainty - no clear beginning or

end, just a continuous state of

questioning. The photographs and

objects in this exhibition exemplify a

kind of liberation from the typical

exhibition norms of showing a

thematic body of work in a finished

state, and instead highlights the

simple act of making things with no

deliberate aim or underlying concept.

All art-making is process but

conventionally, there is a striving to

have the work completed, viewed and

consumed. This show invites an

interaction with ideas and works that are

in flux, and intentionally reveals the complexities of a long-term

relationship with photography itself. Decades of a consistent

practice have yielded constant interrogation of photography’s

endless forms, materials, and techniques. P-R-O-C-E-S-S* celebrates

the inconsistency and discipline, surrender and control of making

art; something inevitable is happening but the what, why, and how

do not need to be fully comprehended or controlled.
