Deborah Klein, Anon,
1998, Linocut (ed.14/55) 57.5 x 38 cm
Banyule Art Collection. Acquired 1998
|
My linocut Anon,
1998, is part of the exhibition Seventh Skin, which opens on 18 June. Its premise parallels
that which has long underpinned much of my own work:
Feeling
‘comfortable in one’s own skin’ is an expression that has multiple meanings in
today’s age. This exhibition asks ‘Just how many layers do we present through
our public face to the world?’ and ‘Exactly what is real and what is disguised
or concealed?’
- Claire Watson, Curator, Seventh Skin
Watson examines this complex theme through a diverse range
of works, encompassing photography, printmaking, video, jewellery and sculpture.
The exhibition includes artworks from the Banyule Art
Collection by:
Pat Brassington, Lyndell Brown /Charles Green, Jazmina
Cininas, Shaun Gladwell, Rona Green, Clare Humphries, Deborah Klein, Yuri
Kawanabe, Christian Thompson and Anne Zahalka.
And works by:
Roseanne Bartley, Eric Bridgeman, Cate Consandine, Troy
Emery, Kate James, Claire McArdle, Polixeni Papapetrou, Deborah Paauwe, Hannah
Raisin, Tania Smith, Jacqui Stockdale and Hiromi Tango.
