“Synthesis” creates a poetic lens on the exploration of the immaterial tendencies in art. For some of our artists, the use of material was determined purely by the formal demands of the construction of the artwork, and these artists create spatial discourse through visual material. Underlying these works is a design that belies the sometimes impermanence of their chosen material, and a reference to form, boundary, and time, which becomes influential factors that affect the ephemeral practice in art.
