This Is Exactly What You Deserve
28 August – 21 September 2024
This Is Exactly What You Deserve will examine the visual language that is implied ubiquitously for us to navigate the accelerating nature of our daily modern life. The installation will juxtapose this modern iconography with materials found directly out our front door and on our streetsides. The pictorial objects for this exhibition are based upon the raw forms of our daily non-linguistic communication. The three-dimensional works – like the image objects, which are scraped from the internet, media, streets and workplaces – are also created from the bric-a-brac of everyday life. Salvaging streetside detritus to be cannibalised and reconstructed into rustic reverence: take the form of asymmetrical shrines and clumsy barricades.
