Overview
Bringing together painting, sculpture, sound and live performance, CONSISTENCY CONSISTENCY MMMMMMMM CONSISTENCY offers a vibrant insight into Dustin Ericksen’s multi-disciplinary practice, built around the formal elements of the Hindustani tintal rhythm. Inspired by the circuit board of a rare 1980s Indian drum machine that blur the edges between image and frame, a deft and textured 16-piece suite of paintings forms the centrepiece of the work, revealing Ericksen’s fascination with patterns, fractals, repetition and mutation. Accompanied by sculptural elements and a two-part live performance – for banjo and modular electronics – CCMC is a live and fluid testament to Ericksen’s practice which flirts with intentional amateurism, sonic dissonance and a fascination for the counterculture freak zone he calls home.
