Press Release
Field Works brings together three projects by Derek Sullivan in response to rural locations in Lumsden, Aberdeenshire, Scotland; and King City and Tamworth, Ontario. Walking is work in a field, it is fieldwork and the starting point for this exhibition. These works developed slowly at the pace of walking and the speed of thought or thoughtfulness.
For Sullivan, this fieldwork took place while on different sites: picking up and carrying small objects in his hands and pockets, standing in a field distracted by wandering thoughts, and trying to fall asleep recalling previous walks in there-and-back-again detail.
These projects consist of drawings and sculptures that result from site-specific experiences and knowledge gained through firsthand observations. They are attempts to get oriented, an investment in the mutability of materials, and an investigation into uncertain states. Together, they all point to future outcomes.
