Anne Wallace’s period spent at the Slade School of Art in London (1994–96) corresponded with a growing awareness of how complex and strange life actually is. Her Slade work of which Girl in Corridor, 1995 is a major example, developed a particular look and atmosphere to enable her to enter into confronting and unconscious aspects of human experience. Meticulous classic forms and design mix with romantic macabre…drap claustrophobic green colours work to convey forbidden knowledge. We are provided with hints of things we know about but don’t want to know about. We are not presented with images of certainty but rather spaces for questioning and for contemplating the profound, inexhaustible ambiguities of human experience.
