“…Lynda Gammon’s practice centres on her interest in the concepts of space – remembered places, evocative spaces, and the relationship between images of spaces and the experience of actual environments. By juxtaposing “represented spaces”, in black and white photographs, with the “presented” spaces of assemblages of recycled, utilitarian materials, Gammon addresses the
confluence of “the physical and the psychical.” Her installations are at once sculptural and architectural, transforming the space around them. Constructed from assorted everyday items, materials salvaged from construction sites, household objects, and photographs, the specifics of the structures don’t add up. The newly created spaces are difficult for us to situate; they don’t seem to quite make sense, and they are all the more unsettling because of their vague familiarity.”
