Curated by Simone Hine

Beam Contemporary, 13 July - 24 August 2013

Framing Phantasm presents the work of three artists that evoke the indefinable quality of a half-remembered dream or distant memory. Across painting and sculpture, these works offer moments of detail that are isolated from ordinary flows. They invite the viewer embellish the worlds that they create, beyond the indicators that lie within their frames.
