"Whilst the title of Nathan Gray's latest show “Spectral Light and Pressure Changes” describes raw, impersonal phenomena, the works encourage the opposite; an intimate experience of sound and colour which focuses on the quality of perception and the problem of interaction.
A mixture of old and new works, the centrepiece is a table with various materials drilled into its surface. The tabletop is amplified with the intention that the viewer/user experience the sound and feel of these materials in a heightened, literally amplified way. This work is accompanied by a video of the artist and his partner improvising a performance on the table/instrument.
Along the walls are two-dimensional works on plywood and paper that use a heightened colour palette. Painted using enamel, oil and water based paints, salt and soap crystals, these opposing materials interact, repelling or attracting one another without mixing. They are painted as a series of accidents and contingent solutions to these accidents, both blueprints for, and depictions of, hypothetical musical works."
