True to her signature style, with Flip, her contribution to Cure3, Vanessa Jackson blurs the boundaries between the artwork and its container, playfully warping our sense of perception. The work resists our tendency to access an artwork rationally as a whole. In a sense it plays with the viewer as the suspended composition of colours and shapes shift depending on where you are standing. The artist manages to imbue the work with apparent movement and lightness. This colourful crossover between painting and sculpture could be viewed as a reminder that our tendency to label or categorise is often an obstacle to fully understanding what we are looking at.
