Unlearned Histories -'Hope Foreshadows Horror'
4 Oct 2026 – 11 Oct 2026
Tangelo House Gallery, Milton NSW
Examining Australia's political relationship with the US and Israel and how this impacts us at home, in Palestine and Lebanon. The 'Horror' Series stylistically reflects 'Pop Art', popular mid 1950's - 1970's, with its flashy bold colours that captured consumer culture and the Mass Media during the VN war and now reflective of Western Governments and their mainstream Media's response to the current Middle East crisis. The 'Hope' series stylistically represents naive paintings, more typical of folk art and commonly seen in children's picture books, to represent the idea that those opposed to ethnic cleansing and occupation in Lebanon and the West Bank and the genocide in Gaza, yet choose to remain hopeful of a better future, are seen to be 'overly idealistic' and therefore, naive.
Other Places
11 Oct 2024 – 20 Oct 2024
Tangelo House Gallery, 61 Wason St, Milton
A group of 5 Artists from Yuin Country, the Shoalhaven District of the South Coast, NSW, reflect on what 'other places' mean for them, either that place they find within, through travel, or in nature, that transports them out of the ordinary, into something revelatory. My exhibition paintings represent rock forms with embedded crystals that I have found on my ocean walks or when fossicking. The discovery of glistening light and other worldly colours captivate, immersing me into that 'other place' where transcending the ordinary emerges.
