Alex Impey’s practice consists of sculptural installation and writing, as means to produce speculations on how importance is organised. Taking as a guiding principal the notion of second-order observation, the observation of an observation, attempts are made to transpose dynamics structuring a search for meaning into arranged form. The material gestures of the work act to replace the dispersion of associative movement by proliferations of internal detail. As a series of contractions and depletions, Impey’s work tries to render physical and emotional a sense of the potentiality sacrificially excluded by decision.
