Gap Year features the work of nine early career Sydney artists selected by consulting curators: Carla Cescon, Susan Gibb and Tom Polo. The exhibition brings together a range of new works exploring a variety of mediums and presents a snapshot of practices by artists from the immediate community of Sydney’s independent artspaces.

Within the structure a variety of tools and materials from the studio are arranged to give the presence of a constructive process taking place. Castings in silicon and plaster, small constructions, documents, task lists, and tools occupy the installation, which represents a temporary studio and research space. One side of the structures are cladded with reflective Black Perspex panels that will face the wall presenting a collection of paintings and neons. The structure's size totals: 2.4m in length, 2.4m in height and 1.2m in width.

All works act like points in a web that connects the installation from the floor to the walls and to one another. Lying on the floor on a low platform The Hammer sculptures sit in between The Wall structure and the actual Art Space walls. The Hammer sculptures consist of a perspex platform on which rests a large basalt rocky stone. The 10 hammers are arranged adjacent to the platform structure each with the name of real and fictitious artist names engraved on the handles. These names are related to the names of artists I have painted in the FloorTalk series. They humorously represent the act of marking or cracking into the Art institution, which is further alluded to by the large rock. Overall size: 1.2m x1.2m x 50cm.
