Our 06.07.16 exhibition will feature a number of exceptional works by Melbourne artist Tai Snaith.
“…In a new series called ‘The Others’ Tai Snaith will be exhibiting a series of pairs of portraits and abstract ceramic assemblages. These are from a current body of work which sees two streams of her practice come together in a new way.
Tai is interested in the way that fragments of ceramics can act almost like words in a sentence. This work addresses the dichotomy of painting as an exploration of material within composition and painting as an abstract symbol for a concept. Each portrait is a type of psychological fiction of a woman and her abstract internal dialogue…’
Pictured is The Others (her thought in circles about immaterial labour), 2016, Gouache, ink, and glaze on linen and ceramic.
