“The Grass is Always Greener“
Wollongong City Gallery
‘Local Currents’ WOLLONGONG CITY GALLERY NSW, Australia 2012
Materials: timber chair, clothing, suitcase, window, photograph, timber ladder, wire, sand & salt
This site-specific installation occupied a corner of the Wollongong City Gallery.
A theatrical setting for a displacement narrative. Each component is encrusted in salt with a ladder leading to an unclear destination, a window frame supporting the photograph that inspired the ladder (taken from a Kyiv rooftop) and a melancholy setting with a chair, suitcase & hanging outfit as if ready to leave, but possibly been left behind…..
