This exhibition presents two Melbourne artists from different generations, born fifty years apart, who evidence an enduring concern with material, space and process through sculpture and installation. Erwin Fabian and Anne-Marie May use a range of found industrial and domestic materials to undertake intuitive explorations of colour, abstraction and space. Through open-ended processes, their works are informed by the very properties of the material they use, and offer the viewer a dynamic experience of the space within and beyond each object.Erwin Fabian's sculptural practice relies on a process of collection and reconfiguration. Over a number of decades, he gathered raw materials to amass a stockpile of elements from which to assemble works: discarded machinery parts from a steel scrapyard; tree stumps and round woodturning blanks; and melted, deformed pieces of plastic. Prompted by the suggestions of these found forms, Fabian has composed sculptures which, while evocatively abstract, are still reminiscent of the proportional balance found in classical figurative sculpture. Often reusing parts of his existing works in a sustainable and self-sufficient way, Fabian allows the scrap materials to speak and, in his words, convey their own 'attitude'. Anne-Marie May employs a range of found and fabricated media to explore the poetic correlations between surface, substance and space. Through research and process-based experimentation, she negotiates the limits of materials including acrylic, bronze, paper and fabric, by refining open techniques such as laser cutting or heating and bending acrylic sheets. May's approach draws on the historical confluence of craft, design and architecture, and the configuration of display is in many ways an extension of her practice. In this way the exhibition space becomes a sensory frame for the experience of her works. Her process is firmly grounded in drawing - a single line can indicate the edge of two separate forms, resulting in an ambiguous relationship between figure and ground. Through folding and expanding flat planes into three-dimensional objects, May further complicates and confounds the relation between inside and outside.
