Carolyn Whittaker (Studio TB-117) launches her first solo exhibition '……..freeze hang melt, eat sleep repeat…….' at BOTH gallery in Highgate which she helps to run with a group of other artists.

The exhibition explores the relationship between the elements of time, change and risk at conceptual and material levels. Carolyn Whittaker uses ice to demonstrate that ‘nothing is ever left as nothing’. The viewer is invited to observe the performative nature of the object slowly changing form, and therefore participating in the risks associated with the outcome.

Whittaker also exhibits work which continues her theme of examining the establishment’s relationship to ‘the worker’ through her crushed, reformed and regrouped objects. Both themes are connected by the artist’s interest in repetition of tasks or process, the structure and routine this provides while contrasted with the unknown of ever-changing forms.
