Mind Garden Exhibition De Install. The Incinerator Art Space, Willoughby, NSW Australia

Описание: Mind Garden - Installation
Mind Garden is based on an ongoing interest in the way artists think, this is my imaginary internal landscape.
It is loosely based on my fascination of Tibetan Medical Thangkas: paintings of the body and anatomy painted on a grid to categorize and understand the body. Like the organs in our body each sculpture has its own role to play and story to tell but also relates to a larger organism.
My goal is to create an immersive, joyful, intriguing world that funnels the viewer into the internal world of an artist, to generate reflection on creative processes and the connection of disparate objects to each other. In such a way promoting dialogue about the complex relationship between the body, nature and the man-made world.
My sculptures are hand woven structures that transform everyday prosaic materials into biomorphic objects of beauty and intrigue. Through the process of making I am sometimes guided by the materials as if they have their own life and will. The final sculptures are rarely how I planned them but much more complicated than I could initially visualise. I reference nature and human anatomy in a broad sense but also try to imbue my sculptures with my own personal stories of my life.
