Ducker's ink drawings have
a creeping heartbreak about them. In each, smoke rises from intimated
destruction. In some images there is more than one point of impact; more than
one trail rising slowly up, thick and black.
The drawings are numerous
and arranged methodically. Looking at one after another is reminiscent of the
evening news, daily horror, peppered with the 'stop and take
notice' punctuations of certain images.
Dark Matter's sculptures can be experienced in this way. Sharp edged objects that cut through the smoke and remind the viewer of the solid objects twisted, charred, destroyed and hidden.
