Beast for Thee
8 October - 30 October
The Oats Factory
Animals can equally inspire our love
and our fear. They act as our companions, protectors, labourers and
provide us with sport. We have caged them, cooked them and we have
worshipped them. We associate some human behaviours with the animal,
often behaviours we would prefer to see as 'other' than human... and
some behaviours that we long to allow in ourselves forgetting that we
are part of that same 'kingdom'.
Beast for Thee features work by
four artists currently based in Western Australia, Claire Bushby, Claire
Canham, Maria Hildrick and William Wernham. The artists came together
to explore this many layered relationship between humans and animals,
from their own individual viewpoints and through a variety of
artistic mediums including painting, drawing, collage and small scale
3d works.
Stay tuned for more about this show...
