Exhibition: Immortal Stories
As a writer, I have a strong attraction to stories. The work for my solo exhibition in September 2019 can be best described as sculptural illustrations of personal fairy tales. I am attracted to the kinds of stories we tell about ourselves and our families; the ones that define us or that we use to redefine ourselves.
The Geese Wars
Past the tractor, past the shearing shed
I am halted by a hissing malice of geese. The dog saves me from their inexplicable fury and grants me passage, I write his name on the road. This is a trail a woodcutter’s child could trace all the way home.
