90 x 45

Situated in a retired timber yard slated for demolition, 90x45 is a new site-responsive exhibition by artist Robbie Rowlands. With the relocation of Bernie Cook Timber making way for the new Sky Rail development, this exhibition finds a unique approach to celebrate 70 years of timber history at the site. Working with 90x45 structural pine and an array of retired saw blades, 90x45 features sculptural and sound works installed throughout the expansive mid-century warehouse. Elegant sculptural forms foreground Rowlands' familiar precision cuts, all set within a sonic field of fundamental notes and overtones. The creative response here is multilayered: where history becomes malleable and wondrous. Time, even with its restrictions, has a greater freedom in this brief moment.
