Clare Flatley, The Black Gates

The Black Gates

ECA graduate Clare Flatley has been invited to exhibit her work ‘The Black Gates’ as part of the Summerhall Programme 2011.

‘My degree show piece demonstrates my explorations into the absorbent and reflective qualities of surfaces, particularly the immersive power and apparent depth of a black surface. My aim was to create a passing point that provides an immersive experience for the viewer, but that does not physically lead to a different space. The framework of the doorway is based on the Gates of Paradise in Florence, with the panels depicting an abstract, chaotic, folded texture rather than pictorial reliefs. It stems from my interest in the way in which science and history bring clarity and definition to the apparent chaos of the world around us. And the subjective, fluid
and ever-changing nature of this ‘truth’ based on the individuality of our own perspective.’
