Burst, Point of no Return Installation

For some years Hinks’s own practice has suggested two possible directions running concurrently. On the one hand, the implication of an expanding space ordered by grids which sit upon the ground of his paintings in a way that suggests an illusionistic ceiling or platform. On the other hand, a secondary force comes to the fore: a dissolution or flux, both liquid and vaporous. These twin impetuses seem to imply a continual play between construction and destruction, where the desire to order and create must admit to the power of chaos. In his iteration for this exhibition, signature checkerboards leave the surface of the canvas to expand across the gallery walls. By implication, we could be engulfed by an ensuing call to order or else dissolve. Perhaps it is the tension between these seemingly polar forces that indicates the undesirability and untenability of either path to the exclusion of the other.
