Danielle Creenaune, Fragile States, Australian Galleries

November 8, 2020 by Anthea Boesenberg Leave a Comment

‘Fragile States describes a parallel notion of fragility with respect to the state of our current natural environment and my own personal experience during a period of relocating to Australia after almost two decades abroad.

These works address the duality experienced both in a cultural and linguistic sense, and also within the landscape I inhabit. In this time of displacement and dislocation, my experiences were charged with sentiment, vulnerability, and a sensitivity to change. It was a period of introspection, weighing up what would be lost and gained and bearing witness to the closure of a chapter in my life. Now, in Australia I am challenged by new places of personal significance in my local area such as wide coastal perspectives and waterfalls. My work is concerned with the rhythms in nature and the importance of treading lightly on this borrowed land.

In this exhibition, I work in the techniques of stone lithography and mokulito, because there is a flow between the process, materials and image making. Lithography offers me a very direct way of making painterly marks within printmaking and carries with it a rich gamut of tones and textures such as reticulated washes and wood textures which mirror forms also present in nature. I walk and observe places while making quick sketches that later serve to situate myself back there with the movement, sounds and sensibilities. Back in the studio, I work on the matrix of stone or wood in a visceral manner creating a new landscape which taps into the feeling of being in that place.’

Ben Rak: The Masks I Wear to Pass

The Masks I Wear to Pass

Wagga Wagga Art Gallery
October 24th, 2020 – January 10th, 2021
 Dear Friends,

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to visit my exhibition The Masks I Wear to Pass at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.  The exhibition is open to the public until January 10th, 2021.

The exhibition attempts to shed light on the ways in which people (myself included) conceal or reveal themselves in order to gain visibility, avoid marginalisation, and enjoy the privileges afforded to dominant groups. I use the print process as a metaphor for otherness, drawing parallels between art practice and social interaction.

In the catalogue essay, Hidden in Plain Sight, Jane O’Sullivan writes:

“The Masks I Wear to Pass draws on his personal knowledge of passing and includes elements of self-portraiture, but Rak is not declaring a single ‘true’ identity or attempting to show what’s under the mask. His interests are instead in those moments of uncertainty, dissonance, and self-estrangement—in the psychological experience of passing and the shadows it casts over us.”

In addition to the exhibition catalogue, a limited edition zine (Twelve degenographs and the masks they wear to pass) has been published in collaboration with Throwdown Press, and is available to purchase.
