Piece by Piece — a solo exhibition by Misha Harrison
5th-29th November 2020
Piece by Piece, by Wollongong artist Misha Harrison, explores materiality and process through intricately cut and assembled plywood artworks.
In her debut solo exhibition at Sydney Road Gallery, Harrison explores and recontextualises traditional art genres. Still life, portraiture, and abstraction are rethought and reimagined into contemporary formats. Each work comprising of carefully cut and layered plywood, painted with vibrant colours juxtaposed and highlighted with textile inlays and stitching.
Piece by Piece transforms mundane materials like plywood and wool into vibrant assemblages of shapes and forms. Reminiscent of a jigsaw puzzle, every different piece of the artwork has been drawn onto the wood, painted, cut and finished to fit in its place. The woodblock artworks represent the journey coming together and aesthetics in the chaos.
