Patricia Low Contemporary, Geneva is pleased to announce When a Drop Unites, a solo exhibition of new works by Kirstine Roepstorff.
Roepstorff’s collages and sculptures evolve from her highly idiosyncratic approach to practice, where readymade materials and aesthetics are appropriated and ‘re-networked’ to create new contexts and narratives. For Roepstorff, the concept of ‘wholicism’ – or the theory of everything – is both subject and a methodology for making: working with a sense of spiritualty, and interconnectedness, her assemblages embrace and harmonise chaotic elements through intimate creative negotiation. Stemming from her own elaborate fictional mythology, Roepstorff’s collages resolve as self-styled classical parables, broaching politicised ideas of economy, feminism, and democracy.
For her latest body of work, Roepstorff applies the aural notion of timbre to visual language. Approaching her collages as symphonic constructions, each element is chosen for its tone, pitch or resonance, their individual characteristics contributing and contingent to the concord of the whole.
