Mandy Espezel: Body Longing

This site-specific painting installation seeks to both address and engage us with “bodily knowledge” and the ways in which artist and viewer perceive and experience the world through their bodies. Mandy Espezel’s work extends painting into space through the medium’s essential components of colour, line, form, scale and composition. The paintings also speak to the exhibition space in what was an old Carnegie library, essentially viewing it as the architectural “body” that houses them.
