Charlie Sofo has produced a new body of work for his first solo exhibition in Sydney: Particular Particles at Darren Knight, opening this Friday 19th July.

Charlie writes: The works in Particular Particles are very quiet, but full of order and time. Some of the pictures are almost invisible. I’ve focused in on particular things, marginal materials and minor processes. In the work Eyes I repeatedly cast the eye of a needle in paint. I turned out hundreds of these tiny forms and pasted them on a sheet of cardboard creating a field of sorts, a concentration of eyes. In the work Clothes Lint I picked, rolled and pasted individual balls of lint from 16 items of clothing. The result is a patchwork of lint – an ordered collection of superfluous materials. I’ve tried to make something out of almost nothing. Each piece is based upon a simple idea that has been expanded or carried through to its logical end.
