- Abstract
- The Dance, based on Matisse's infamous painting of the same name, consists of a series of stainless-stell figure-based abstraction that appeara march or dance through the site. With reference to international modernist art history, the 'figure' embodies the lingering remainder of their original pictorial counterpart. The artistic innovation of this work lies in the inversion of icons of modernism into feminised, functional and contemporary form, through the use of insightful and witty subversions. The aim of The Dance is to question the authority of the art museum as an institution of established historical fact - inviting art history itself to leave the gallery behind and enter the hinterlands of the Otways, where it shares a social space with the living heartbeat of its people.
