Jacob Rolfe: An Amazing System of Wiggles

6 October - 30 October 2010

An exhibition of new screenprints prints by Jacob Rolfe.

Jacob’s investigation into the nature of reality, awareness and identity finally come together in his latest exhibition of screen prints at Solander Works on Paper. Philosopher Alan Watts (1915-1973) describes our experience of reality as an overlapping series of vibrations: sight vibrations, emotional vibrations, touch vibrations and sound vibrations. These vibrations combine and overlap to form a pattern, and that pattern, that “amazing system of wriggles”, is what we experience as reality. Jacob intrigues us with his own amazing system of wriggles through his wild and humorous use of line, shape and colour. Jacob invites us to suspend, momentarily, our analytical mind and reawaken the universal, simple and direct emotional experience of colour and shape. As Jacob himself says “ The investigation is ongoing, I'll report back.”
