Joshua Raz’s ground is energised yet infuriated into a flux that speaks to the divisions between familiarity and alienation, sanctity and peril. Raz’s compositions do not betray any modelling in the usual sense but, rather, attain their physicality and psychological potency through the power and orchestration of pattern, much as his characterisation of the ground and ’scape does. His all-consuming ground of choreographed colour and affiliation speaks slowly and delicately, dominated by an ornate arabesque of painted mark.
