ONGOING PROJECTS
A Version of the World - exhibiting at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf, 7 Feb-3 March 2024
This series — its title a quote from Salman Rushdie on literature's true purpose — is one interpreting classic literary works that remain dear to me. An imagining of the humanity, insight and transcendence I believe we all find in the written word.
The images include visualisations of poems, stories, plays and novels — from Shakespeare to works from the 18th-20th centuries. Each, however, speaks to the instinctive relationship we have with nature, demonstrating both the deep solace we find within it, and how even the broadest vista can also contain private inner worlds.
Each work is titled with a quote from the literary work it is depicting, intended as a direct line between words and image.
These are part of a larger series — some of which are exhibiting at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf from 7 February to 3 March 2024 — which can be viewed on request.
