Abstract

In the exhibition Treloar presents sixteen variations on the same found image, a male figure in deep concentration, perhaps scientifically observing, closely reading or studying. All contextual clues have been removed – including the figure’s lower torso and legs – leaving only a cypher. Across the suite of images, Treloar varies colour and texture, with varying degrees of opaqueness, using different methods including bee’s wax, masking tape and transparent papers
