- Abstract
- Work exhibited at Counihan Gallery, Brunswick, Melbourne Inspired by an Australia Council residency in Rome in late 2009, Soul /Skin/Space explores the potential for bodily metaphors to be found in the physical environment - whether by overt reference, inferred likeness, or merely a trace left behind by the imprint of a hand or foot. In Rome there exists the incredibly powerful sense of human presence and a profound history in the depiction of the human form. The body is everywhere, both living and dead, flesh and stone, in the museums and galleries, on the streets, the aqueducts and fountains. The city itself is a living, breathing entity, an ancient being possessing the wisdom and knowledge borne out of three thousand years of experience. It has loved and lost, been abandoned and left others behind, lived through riches and poverty, triumphs, defeats and tragedies. Glimpses of faces and figures evoke memories of a once vigorous and youthful body now aged and weary. And monumental fragments of stone and marble are like broken bones and worn teeth, the relics of a once revered individual now almost reduced to dust.
