"Tribute" exhibition at Montsalvat, 3rd November to 27th November, 2011.
My tribute piece will be "Catch My Drift", my body of work is a homage to James Gleeson.
A section of my work is the top first image on the invite.
"Catch My Drift"
I am fascinated by the psychoscape nature of Surrealism. The element of surprise is in its bizarre biomorphic matter incongruously juxtaposed.
Surrealism's intriguing power for me is the blurring of truth, a fusion of absurdity that is either humorous or very disturbing, the intellectual games played or its mystical aspects with spiritual links.
This work is a self-exploration with depicitions of personal symbolism. A revelation that my reality is, in fact, only a function of my own belief system.
My appropriation pays homage to James Gleeson, who is regarded as Australia's foremost surrealist. In the daring essence of surrealism, I dare to not only place myself side by side with this master but to also drift in his wake.
