Diana Copperwhite @ Kevin Kavanagh

I wrote ‘On Blurring’ in response to Diana Copperwhite’s Vanishing Apertures at Kevin Kavanagh.

Aperture: an opening which allows for the passage of light. As it widens and narrows inside a camera lens or human eye, rays scatter thin as mist or gather thickly in a luminous cone. 

Expansion, recession. In the movement between them, blinking discrepancies take hold. Blurrings occur.

Diana Copperwhite’s paintings make a kind of feast of these blurrings.
