Appropriations
12 September – 7 October 2009
Opening Tuesday 15 September 6-8pm
As a theatre practitioner and painter, fields of research and discovery are as serendipitous as life. The world presents itself as a resource of cultural and visual images to be re-interpreted and realised as additional metaphors.
A curiosity for the strange and bizarre coupled with a need to examine and explain the human condition leads one into the realm of the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Recent political and cultural events demand a visual contextualization and the disturbing; scattered symbols are signifiers of a personal worldview.
