"Sedition and Other Bedtime Stories"
Solo show, Keith and Lottie Gallery, 2006
"A world ends when its metaphor has died... It
perishes when those images, though seen, No
longer mean."
Ashley MacLeish
Media used: pigment ink in pen and brush on
paper.
Influences: Religious texts, mythological
texts including Joseph Cambell, Friedrich
Schelling, Dantes Inferno, The Bhagavad Gita,
and the Bible. Political resources including the
Australian Anti-Terrorism Bill. I have also
looked at legal documents from a
cultural/textual perspective.
Many of the drawings look at the intersections
of the personal and political as an entry point
into deeper societal and spiritual myths and
their symbols.
Period Created: Perth, Western Australia
(2006)
