Made at Tacit, crafted and finished by hand, double primed matt black, these lidded boxes provide an opportunity to transform an object associated with the storage of the most precious of objects into its own precious object. Paint the lid? All the external sides? All the external sides and the inside? Object(s) placed inside the box? All of the above?'

TERRI BROOKS Painting is architecture May 31-June 17 Opening Wednesday May 31, 6.30-8pm Tacit Galleries, Melbourne 191-193 Johnston St, Collingwood https://www.tacitart.com.au/collections/painting-is-architecture Artist Statement The paintings in this exhibition continue my linear exploration of the grid. But not as grid as straight line rather as grid as motion and construction (building). One line leads to another. Sometimes works sit for weeks until the next layer presents itself. An intuitive ideology of trust that at some point everything will work out. That stopping point is always the same. A compositional resolution I could never have conceived prior to commencement. My current palette is black, white, and brown (light, shade, earths).
