   Nature Preserve -…

   
   

   October 17, 2020 02:00 AM      04:00 AM

   **  Opening Night  **
   The Nature Preserve project engages with the re-naturalisation of creativity. Under
   
   the project's extended metaphor, the preserve acts as an intermediate wild environment in
   
   that invites interpretations, perspectives, creativities, identities and allows us to stretch their
   
   legs a little.
   
   
    
   Mythology, landscape, and the painted medium is used to instigate the beginnings
   
   of a comfortable interpretation, but the specific subject within the work moves to repel any
   
   obvious or absolute reading.
   
   
    
   Counterpointed in small ways with several videos, the project experiments with absurdism and humor to present a landscape of playfully fluctuating possibilities, that we may explore and celebrate these unsung parts of ourselves.
