Darcey Bella Arnold

A Measure of Disorder

Gertrude Glasshouse
Friday 11 MarchSaturday 9 April

Living with aphasia — a condition that can impact the ability to communicate — the artist’s mother Jennifer regularly uses the words atrophy and entropy as placeholder words in written and verbal conversation. Beginning in the studio with these two words, Darcey Bella Arnold tracks and drifts through family histories, artworks, and linguistics to form a body of research that arises from these terms. With touchpoints in Ferdinand de Saussure’s Structural Linguistics of thought and sound, the oddity of René Magritte’s image treachery, typography of Mutlu Çerkez, the orange arc of Elsworth Kelly, Louise Bourgeois’s Sainte Sebastienne, pedagogical visual languages (the daughter of teachers) and the elasticity of language in concrete poetry, the practice of research informs Arnold’s painting and sculptural works.

This research is a way of filling the body of the artist with the resonances that move through atrophy and entropy. The artist’s practice provides a methodology for processing these embodiments through a painting and sculptural logic that enacts a measure of disorder.
