For those who missed this exhibition,(which will be most of you i guess..) Containment explores a lot of the suburban gothic stuff i was thinking of at the time. Lots of post social work catharsis, Jungian shadow imagery and generous lashings of my own neurosis. :)
Notes from the exhibition:
Containment is a body of work that explores the dichotomy between the external and internal world and is concerned with the hidden parts of the human condition.
The installations in containment are constructed from everyday media including raw paper bags, wire, feathers, bowls and paper, yet where burn explored the nature of pain and scarring through the tangible physicality of the mutilated surface, these works push beyond, into the interior, and the internal state of confinement, repression and restraint.
The obsession with the visceral is played out through recurring images; a kitchen knife, a colt revolver, an antique padlock, crows talons, singular feathers and sets of wings; and imbue the installations with suggestions of sexuality, spirituality, and perhaps even a latent, pervasive aggression.
