a found thing (the consolation of consolations)
17th - 29th September 2012
e.g.etal

a found thing (the consolation of consolations) is made up of seven different bodies of work. Each body explores a slightly different aesthetic, creating the impression of having been collected at different times and from different places; colour, texture and form drawing them all together even as they stand apart.
“Maybe these pieces are just isolated thoughts that somehow found material form. These thoughts are worn and read and have travelled and because of this they are very simple in form. Experience has worn off the unnecessary detail, and what remains is simply a testament to the experiences that formed them. I have collected my thoughts in this body of work. Often the true intention is obscure, not overtly stated. Often time and experiencing the whole may lead to some sort of revelation. Or not. They are just found things assembled together. Driven by a passion for objects and things and cultures and people and belief systems. Votives whose meaning is written by the wearer. These are my found things: my consolations of consolations.
I have learnt many things in the making. What I have learnt most is that I have a deep love of making things. And that love keeps pushing me forward to greater understanding of objects and things and most of all, people.”

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I live, the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their Ancestors and Elders Past and Present.
Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
