International Printmaking Biennial Douro 2020
My work has been included in the 2020 International Printmaking Biennial in Douro, Portugal
Animalia Paradoxa
 |
Plusiotis victorina Beetle Woman, 2015, acrylic on wood, 32 x 30 cm
will be part of Animalia Paradoxa at Queenscliff Gallery and Workshop in November 2020 |
In November, my solo exhibition Animalia Paradoxa opens at Queenscliff Gallery and Workshop. Drawn from my extensive personal mythology, a collection of 'unnatural history studies' harkens back to a time when folk tales helped us make sense of our lives. In these ancient stories, life on earth was shared with a fine profusion of flora, fauna and exotic mythical creatures, and the border separating humanity and nature was decidedly more blurred.
Animalia Paradoxa runs through November 2020.
