A thousand good mornings

A work never feels truly finished. A Thousand Good Mornings presents two paintings by Nour El Saleh and two sculptural works by Benjamin Orlow. Compositions not obviously related but distributed in space and revealing one common feature: holes. Hung on the walls and laying on the floor are sets of visual documentations. A nose-line, a mandible protruding, the shape of a throat. A multitude of fingers insinuating an uncanny gesture. A gaze – a sense of belonging. Hollows, body parts, roofs, and disparate architectures. Each reference acting as a mirror of the other. Leading us into an unexpected set of correspondences. A greasy thick hair whorl. Figures, made of clay, wood, bronze and paint engender sculptural prototypes within fictional homes. Weirdly familiar – universally recognisable.
