“The outcome cannot be predetermined; it evolves, it can be a surprise,” explained Hilarie Mais on the systematic quality of her practice which has become synonymous with the confluence of formal structures and shapes we find in nature. This exhibition, curated by Blair French and Manya Sellers, features 20 major works and surveys three key threads of her practice; a ‘ghosting’ of colour between the work and its installation context, grid/square and circle/spiral systems in the pieces and multiple component works.
