For his sixth solo show at Danielle Arnaud, David Cotterrell presents a new body of work, considering the illusion of evidence and a search for context. For the past four years, David has been wrestling with where he belongs. Searching for a contextual reference, he has found himself cycling through suburbs, wandering in deserts, drifting at sea, and immersed in archives. This new series of experimental responses explores the contradictions of dreams, evidence, and perception. Developing his holographic vitrines, exploring the dynamics of game engines and revisiting a curiosity with shadow projection, he offers a series of vignettes, animations, and anomalies within the gallery. Through an idiosyncratic range of influences, he explores historical storytelling in humble homage to the aesthetics of baroque painting, the irony of Dimitrijevic, and the journeys of Eisenstein.
With the kind support of Sheffield Hallam University Art, Design and Media Research Centre (ADMRC) and Alioscopy.
