Jon Cattapan’s debut exhibition with Dominik Mersch Gallery presents two related but visually diverse sets of paintings. In his ongoing ‘Imagine a raft’ series he uses, as a starting point, simple digital photographs of hard rubbish collections to present interwoven structures and objects that have a more open meaning.
The found objects are assembled in his paintings as ‘rafts’, which float in his compositions to explore identity and memory of time and place.
