The invocation of sexuality in Lynne Barwick's fleshy, vinyl and rubber fetishisms, is more an allusion than a central doctrine. Of more particular concern to her, is the process by which theory and meaning become objectified in works of art. In this context, the sex-laden surfaces and bumps of her trashy, though costly materials, remain consciously ambiguous, abetted by humour.
Beneath the carefully-determined materiality is a pornology of obsessive detailing, repetition, excess and revulsion.
