761m2 New works by BEVAN HONEY Lines and spaces, boundaries and expanses, physical objects and abstract concepts, all this can be found in the positives and negatives of Honey's intriguing work. As the artist contemplates the structure from inside the shed, his images have us thinking outside the square. Large horizontal works examine the roof rafters of the artist's shed as seen from eight different compass points. The Shed has a mythology all its own in Australia but is in danger of extinction as the suburban sprawl encourages smaller blocks with bigger pools. Here the humble subject, drawn in charcoal on MDF then coated in polyurethane, has the appearance of having been preserved in amber. These richly presented images of strong straight lines seem to weave a pattern, a web that captures a sense of both the day dreaming and do-it-yourself activity that takes place in the backyard shed.
