Nuance

NUANCE is defined as as a small shift; a difference or variation; a gradation or modulation of appearance or feeling.

NUANCE also suggests more than one view - a relation between at least two terms that allow movement, terms that exist within the work or outside of it eg.work and context, site or work and audience.

Or Nuance can be a verb, an act of giving nuance to something, where the emphasis is on the process, the act of doing, of intervening in a particular site, way of seeing or thinking. One can also think that to nuance something is not only to act on the work itself but to change something around it or the context within which it exists.

When does NUANCE reinforce a position or a subject of a work by shifting or adding a multiplicity of views and at what point does one more small shift cross a threshold to imply something else, something different.

Five artists responding to the theme “Nuance”:

Lynne Eastaway, Chantal Grech and Peter De Lorenzo (Sydney).
