Out of Place


Curated by Simon lawrie


McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park

Langwarrin

24 July - 12 November 2017


This is the artist’s second Survey exhibition featuring work from 2004 - 2017.  Features a full colour catalogue. 


Paintings, virtual photographs and videos. 

The video work  Respose has been curated into the featured video section of the  Hong Kong Central Art in March 2017. 


 It is a “fly through” of a virtual hotel room – the sort of generic, standardized space that is now repeated globally - with surface variations. It was constructed and animated using 3D modelling software, photographic images and resources drawn from the internet. The 2 minute work infinitely loops back to its beginning.


While the title  Repose evokes rest, things may also be re-posed – as one would a question, or in rearranging a set piece.
