Impressions

Impressions means to be marked, moved or stamped by something. It is also a play on the ‘artist’s impressions’ of an architectural draft, which are often commissioned to give a visual tracing of concepts and objects that cannot be seen otherwise, whether because they are too big, too small, in the past, in the future, fictional, or abstract. This series of commissioned artworks by four of Auckland’s hottest emerging talent is about how the new architecture of UXBRIDGE impresses itself on the artists, and in turn, how the artists respond to the new building and its surroundings.
