Disenchantments of the World

I am extremely excited to officially announce my new solo exhibition

'Disenchantments of the World'.‍

This new body of work is a contemporary exploration of human darkness, desire, and the fleeting nature of earthly pleasures.Sumptuous floral blooms interacting with sea creatures and glistening effervescence emerge from velvety darkness. This series of underwater still life works draws inspiration from paintings by the old Dutch masters —images of flowers symbolising beauty, nobility and prosperity and their impermanence.
A closer gaze reveals a mash-up: luxe Rembrandt-esque blooms are entwined with g(littering) plastic.
This series also references one of the earliest examples of consumerism and collective mania—the Dutch Tulip fever in the early 1600s. The exotic coloration of the most highly prized tulip during tulpenmanie was caused by a virus that infected the flower, leading to a buying hysteria.

Visit from 18-28 November to view this new series of large-scale photographic works, and a series of three short films.
Bookings essential. Hourly tours + RSVP only.
