The artistic output by James Gardiner (fahn) is informed by the phenomenon of Pareidolia, where meaningful forms are found in ambiguous, random patterns. These forms are then developed into three dimensions on a robotic cutting machine (CNC router). Floor Drawing examines the initial stages of Gardiner’s process, where live automatic drawings are performed over multiple floor-based surfaces using fluid gestures and movements. His body reaches, circles, stretches, and balances to produce marks on paper. With musical accompaniments, ephemeral works teeter on the edge of collapse as boundaries are taped off and mediums collide in a mixture that includes inks, spray paints, wax crayons, and graphite. The audience surrounds the artist in this alchemical process, witnessing an intimate stage of artistic creation. Curated by Daniel Press. Monday, 29 July 2025 6:00 pm 9:00 pm
