Event Details
Start Date:
Saturday 21 August 2010
End Date:
Thursday 23 September 2010
Venue:
Shepparton Art Gallery
Shepparton Art Gallery Exhibition
Home Altared is a playful although at times sinister installation which reminds us how the objects we collect and grow up with in the home, influence our sense of ourselves and the world. Australian artist Lynda Draper rescued a number of decorative ornaments from her 1950's child hood home in Cronella nsw prior to it being demolished
Draper has reappropriated these kitsch everyday domestic ornaments into new artworks which evoke feelings of nostalgia and also the uncanny. Similar objects within the Shepparton Art Gallery's collection will be included in the partnering exhibition Animal Island. Thanks to Gallerysmith and PLANEX. Curated by Kirsten Paisley.
