Gut Feeling

Solo exhibition at Metro Arts, Brisbane, at the culmination of a 12 month residency.

8 – 25 Aug 2012

Catalogue written by Serena Bentley

'Adopting an almost scientific approach, she often reconfigures familiar foodstuffs to make new art forms that depart significantly from their original constituents. Take her Liquid Breakfasts for example; in which powdered food products like Ovaltine and Nesquick are individually mixed by the artist into tough, tactile doughs. The final form of these works is determined by the materials themselves; they’re left to collapse into modest, sculptural folds on the floor. As well as being wonderfully anticlimactic, they also reveal the artist’s interest in play.'
