For the third in our series of exhibitions at the UNITY centre, LuckyPDF presents Delays Not Colours, an installation of new sculptural work by Molly Smyth.
Molly’s forms cite their origin as the indeterminate spaces of the city and the structures and constructions that fill them. It is in the gaps between streets and buildings that our interactions with the the city take place, a space we share with
parked cars, building sites, skips and scaffolding. This show intends a display of her sculpture that will create fluctuations between obscurity and signals, violence and recovery.
Delays Not Colours is the attempt to make the presence within these works available and tangible to the viewer, when something about the sculptures’ mutual future is on the point of being decided and there is recognition of irreparable damage underway.
Molly Smyth
Molly Smyth lives and works in South East London. Her sculptural practice ranges from the miniature to the monumental and employs materials with a frequently alarming disparity. Her works are highly personal meditations on the shapes, images and subjects, which aim at a reprieve from loss. The works’ strengths arise from the emotional charge they carry, making their viewing an uncanny moment in which the viewer becomes connected to feelings for which there is no bearer. In this way, all of the artist’s sculpture attempts a confrontation of human disappearance.
