INTRODUCTION

Dominique Rey’s practice encompasses the interplay between notions of identity, site and culture within personal histories. Rey traces the resonance of once inhabited spaces and points to the varying ways that these may be interpreted by those who follow. History may be a mutative process created from suppositions and subjective, edited, narratives that are themselves formed from fragments and objects pieced together. Entwined within this process is the paradoxical closeness of fact and fiction, polarities that may often become interchangeable. Rey exhibits in varying sites relevant to her specific interests and also within galleries. Recent works have involved video projection, old textile patterns and most notably, an airfield.
