Jetsam

Download list of works

Sid Motion Gallery is pleased to present ‘Jetsam’, a two-person exhibition by Angela Blažanović and Laura Green.

Investigating the poetic qualities of everyday objects, Blažanović and Green make art that questions the incidental and the hand-made.

Blažanović creates compositions of found objects from the bed of the River Thames at low tide. She photographs her assemblages on a pillar revealed by the water to capture unique configurations of discarded objects.

Green explores the relationship between psychological and physical space with works that consider notions of memory, solitude and loss. Through the use of materials such as cardboard, gaffer tape and other found objects, Green’s sculptures are disconnected from our preconceptions, and their materials are presented away from their original context. The viewer is encouraged to question the beauty and aesthetic value of what is before them.
