Mary Bell, reproduced, preserved, forever faded in inky newsprint. A sweet little girl with Milly, Molly, Mandy 70s picture book looks. A mirror held against my childhood.
Mary, Mary, memento mori, touched and touching evil. If I paint you again and again will I learn your secrets, will I wipe out the stain? Will I learn, something of my own dark heart?
Cathy Lomax paints the same portrait of Mary Bell over and over again in a labour intensive act of non-mechanical reproduction. In re-painting this blurry newsprint cutting, as the paint catches in the murky crevices of a child’s indistinct features, she hopes something will be fathomed, something about how appearances can deceive, about how a child can kill another child, about how an image can become iconic. This questioning multiplies with the Marys and becomes not only about the authenticity of an image but also about the authenticity of painting itself as the quirks and ticks of the fallible hand make each duplicated portrait a failed copy of the previous.

grey area presents selected work from barbara ryan’s ‘the book of days – a synaesthesic calendar’
the installation draws from a record of 365 days, bringing together magazine-type prints, sculpture, and an olfactory formula - the images have been ‘staged’ to represent the cross-modal synaesthesic experiences of the artist
‘if i think of a particular day from memory, it consists of many sensory experiences – i.e. both synaesthesic and what i assume to be the ‘normal’ way, compressed, then expanded into a 4-dimensional totality
‘if i think of a particular day from memory, it consists of many sensory experiences – i.e. both synaesthesic and what i assume to be the ‘normal’ way, compressed, then expanded into a 4-dimensional totality
for example, looking at the days at the end of august, i experience a filmic sequence of intermeshed stories, scenarios and characters with their accompanying smells, sounds and meteorological and tactile sensations
one image can be a representation of the concept of august in synaesthesic memory, i.e. of all augusts – separate, different, yet cohesive and eternal, and like any other day of the year’
‘sometimes, by a certain manifestation of light rays and accompanying olfactory circumstances, a day in october can momentarily ‘replicate’ a day in may, march or any other month
‘sometimes, by a certain manifestation of light rays and accompanying olfactory circumstances, a day in october can momentarily ‘replicate’ a day in may, march or any other month
thus the passage of the seasons, whilst appearing circular and uni-directional, can also become like a moebius strip, meshing and transposing seemingly unrelated places and times’
