VOID, a solo exhibition of new works by Sue Lloyd, continues her interest in making “textually-based” work in a digital environment. Composed of existing images remixed from a wide variety of source material, the new works are large digital prints. Having begun with images of the sky, VOID arrives at a much less concrete place. By using existing imagery, the task of rendering appearances is de-emphasized and focus can shift to the rendering of issues less visible but more primary: speaking, knowing, seeing. Lloyd finds the rendering of perception more compelling than the documentation of visual appearance: landscapes and figures describe interior as much as exterior states of being.
"Viewing the thirteen images of Sue Lloyd’s VOID provokes a visual consciousness reminiscent of a haunting. Whether pleasurable or disturbing, the heightened memory states that haunt each of us retain a vivacity outside of linear time. Sue Lloyd’s digital remixed images quietly ambush us in a similar manner." Betsy Warland.
