Jump Cuts
Kingsgate Gallery

London
5-14 Oct 2007

An installation that cuts between the studio and the gallery, layering drawn paintings with video projections, both of which share the same source. Aspects of the studio space will be viewable from the gallery. The use of a split- site parallels the artist’s process of combining elements from different points in time while allowing her to develop the dual public and private nature of this work.

A video work involving a group of children’s performances in a talent show has been re-filmed in the studio and edited with new footage. Individual performances are tracked over three years, accentuating their development and shifting sense of identity. During this process unexpected incidents, abandoned objects & the previous history of the work becomes part of its subject.

Winstone uses video as a screen to capture the everyday and examine spontaneity and repetition. She draws repeatedly from related sequences, layering verbal and visual rhythms. She draws into paintings using materials such as silver wire or a drill, both of which change over time, tarnishing, dissolving or excavating the surface.

The artist also presents paintings drawn while viewing a sequence of Westerns that hold personal significance for her in her own play with identity from a young age to the present.

A sense of flux and the transitory permeate this presentation.
