"[...] the work indicates that stammering could be the perfect poetic description of a movement of flames, which is a beautiful idea. The work also presents itself as a mass-produced poster but this is an illusion since it is hand drawn."


"The Meetings… series began in 1999 and is ongoing, with, in each, the flames developing their own form for the present moment in which they are drawn. Chodzko has spoken (eg lecture at Central Saint Martins, London, 2017) about his repetitive process of drawing the flames as a meditative process of weaving a structure of flows that not only describes but is the internal movement inherent in, and between, all his artworks; of fluidity, of meaning folding, unfolding and becoming. Meetings… also emerged  from Chodzko’s own direct experience of stammering. " (source: www.adamchodzko.com)

Adam Chodzko is an artist working across media, exploring our conscious and unconscious behaviour, social relations and collective imaginations through artworks that are propositions for alternative forms of ‘social media.’ Exhibiting work nationally and internationally since 1991, his work speculates how, through the visual, we might best connect with others; ‘How might we perceive better’?
