"A world ends when its metaphor has died... It
perishes when those images, though seen, No
longer mean."
Ashley MacLeish
Media used: pigment ink in pen and brush on
paper.
Influences: Religious texts, mythological
texts including Joseph Cambell, Friedrich
Schelling, Dantes Inferno, The Bhagavad Gita,
and the Bible. Political resources including the
Australian Anti-Terrorism Bill. I have also
looked at legal documents from a
cultural/textual perspective.
Many of the drawings look at the intersections
of the personal and political as an entry point
into deeper societal and spiritual myths and
their symbols.
Period Created: Perth, Western Australia
(2006)
