PETER JACOB MALTZ transforms everyday domestic materials into monumental reliefs. Bathroom items such as tiles, soap, broken mirrors and towelling are combined to form dramatic compositions that literally break through the surface, appearing as if physical form has burst through from behind the pictorial plane. Maltz commonly refers to Old Masters, on this occasion Michelangelo’s ‘Pieta’. In transcribing from such works Maltz combines a sophisticated compositional arrangement with a fragmented physical structure that creates a dynamic, spectacular whole.

Japanese artist RIE NAKAJIMA builds uncanny sound installations that explore the nature of sound, harmony and their relation to the physical world and human memory. Complex floor and wall based structures are built from base materials such as plastic, paper, bin liners, tape and musical instruments. Each work lives in space and time as structures and instruments correspond to physical change, culminating in repeated events which combine to create composite sound and material manifestations.
