String Strung Out presents a body of work that playfully stretches the concept of painting across into three-dimensional assemblage. Through the incorporation of cast and prefabricated objects that lean, balance and teeter on the edge of the canvas Luscombe develops a language that integrates provisional sculpture with painting. Luscombe’s new body of sculptural pieces takes its cues from Anthony Caro’s 1966-1969 Table Pieces in which were made to sit on the edges of tables. Luscombe’s work will also use this same tension of the edge as a means to negotiate gravity and balance.
