Sculptor John Rainey looks back at his 2016 solo show ‘On Visibility’, with this new online presentation exploring the exhibition; a series of sculptures in porcelain, silicone and mixed media.
“On Visibility considers the persistence of images, mediated disclosure and slippages between form and formlessness in the creation of digital representation.”
