Laurieston Arches

For Cleave, six artists working across sound, sculpture, video, painting, photography and performance installed their artwork across three arches in a dynamic format that switched between minimal/maximal space and male/female artists.

The word 'cleave' means both to split and to adhere to - embodying acts of divergence, as well as convergence. Cleave began as a concept split along natural lines of being that, when taken as a whole established a common artistic expression linking the three arches into one coherent whole.
