Rachael Browning’s practice, sliding between photography, sculpture, and drawing, uses humor, tension, and hardware to compose and effect solutions to self-devised problems. In 'This Way Up', photographs and corresponding drawings consider the constancies and discrepancies of form across directly; each photograph, a pseudo-document of a temporary sculptural intervention that the artist makes expressly for the image, positions industrial materials in tension–principally hardware, rope, PVC piping, and plywood–in her studio. The drawings fully abstract each composition, suggesting that materials, rich with potential meaning, may simply be means to an end.
