Paper Trees is an exhibition of new drawings and paintings where David uses an accumulation of fragments, assembled with a keen emphasis on surface, these artificial scenes converge and explore spacial possibilities. An intricate montage of lines, paper, surfaces, and patterns evolve in combination with basic visual art genres, such as the garden, landscape, interiors and design.
A text by Ingrid Lyons will accompany this exhibition.
