Rosalind Davis“Davis’ paintings cite and improvise on a high modern repertoire of architectural and design forms, adding stitched geometries and broad washes of translucent pigment to conjure a set of complex interior spaces that convey something of the existential doubt that began to infect the modernist project during the post-war period.
Entry Point, a steel and thread sculpture effortlessly achieves a harmony of materials, form and space that evokes approval of the modernist integration of art and life.” David Gledhill, a-n Reviews |
