| I
want to break free
Karen Woodbury Gallery
26 July – 19 August 2006
I
want to break free contends
with the precarious domain of the home. It depicts a series
of seemingly ordinary domestic scenes yet – in contrast
to our imaginings of household bliss and security –
ambiguity, danger and even outright threat are played out
in theatrical ways. Deliberate painterly devices toy with
the boundaries of truth in visual representation, questioning
modern urban aspirations as potential deceptions and entrapments
amid our ongoing pursuit of freedom.
