Realignment: Molly Thomson

The body of work that forms the exhibition, has grown from Thomson's concern with the performance of the painting as an object. She is interested in conditions that confine, resist and limit, and in what happens when those given conditions are subject to question and boundaries are breached. The exhibition’s title refers to the processes of reorganisation involved after certainties are disrupted and a new position must be reached, albeit one that isn’t immune to question.

The paintings present their facades, including sometimes a glimpse of their interiors, and angular forms may protrude like redundant bits of architecture. In some pieces structural displacements trigger complication and uncertainty in the object; elements which seem to be exposed parts of the painting’s substructure are found to be not in the expected place or orientation, generating a question about what is being seen.
