“Covered and contained between its crankshafts and its cowlings, its pistons heads and bearings, coated seductively in deep blue oil. Here we see the fascination of the abandoned car, imagining the spent gasoline tales of people in which it played a bit-part.”
- Honey
This project is about the life and death of the motor car; captured for an instant as a vessel for art. Stark, raw, metal converges into a pyre of wrecked vehicles from without. Within is cocooned the diametric opposite; a serene, clear, space of peace. A haven created by the ferrous violence of its walls, physically, and metaphorically - a balance to the chaos outside.
Once inside visitors share an intimate moment with the artists work. The power of the space comes from its inscrutable shape, together with a homogeneity of surface which creates a chapel-like calm, and an unintrusive background for the display and appreciation of the artwork. We are inside the artist's car.
