My work Dislocation I has been short listed for the prestigious annual Parkin Prize 2020.
The competition attracted an impressive 482 entries, of which 76 have been selected for the short-list.
The works will be showcased at the Parkin Drawing Prize exhibition at the NZ Academy of Fine Arts (4 August – 30 August) and the winning submission will be selected and announced by Charlotte Davy, Head of Art at Te Papa Tongarewa at the gala announcement of the Parkin Drawing Prize exhibition on Monday 3 August 2020.
Each day of the covid 19 pandemic lockdown I made a small work with materials I had to hand, scraps of paper and discarded prints. My intent was to mark the character of each of 40 days. Dislocation I draws on the essence of those works with their restricted palette, scale, and relative patterns. Together the components can be read as single frames from a short movie about disruption and isolation.
