In a rhythmical installation suggestive of music, the tapestries and photographs that Gresham has created reflect similar ideas of repetition and subtle disruption of pattern. The two mediums create a symbiosis that contrast the introspective, time consuming weaving, and the instantaneity of photographic observation.
Often falling in and out of focus, the photographs are about rhythm, textures and tones rather than what’s pictured. The tapestries provide accents of colour, subtly interrupting the flow of the monochrome photographs. Like visual music the rhythms carry you along and the ideas move freely between the two mediums.
