PURE CANDOUR

2007, Oil on Linen, 100 x 100cm

Finalist, 2008 Mosman Art Award

With a visual play on the idea of “hanging out one’s dirty laundry,” surface and space are transposed and manipulated in unexpected ways. The idea that the sky itself (a given resource?) is exposed for everyone to see and scrutinise invites the viewer to think about the (lack of) honesty and transparency that is so much a part of the modern media-driven lifestyle.
