22.01.2022 June 2016 Heartpiece One To perceive my heart Is to measure... And control That which is normally fleeting; A meeting of forces Gone with each beat To freeze this moment Is an act of bleeding Into and coagulating upon The visual surface A temporary (and never before) Collision Of personal matter/s (Physical matter: the blood) (Ideas: personal metaphors) A fusion of the strangely familiar Bound and captured Momentarily To form a single shot An opening A wound Presently stitched Into a bloom Of remembered icons

12.01.2022 The Left Body in Memento at The Art Passage 14th Oct - 10th Nov 2018 Opening Drinks 20th Oct 3-5pm... Bodies are Left behind all the time: mattersphysical matter and matters of thoughtare always changing, regenerating, being rejected and recovered. To me, Arts are sites of recovery: visual art, written theory, and martial arts are therapeutic spaces where lost bodies, unbalanced bodies, and hidden bodies are regained, righted, and made visible. The Left Body is an ongoing project: as dis-orders are (re)performed (as collisions of parts (co-influential forces (sub-texts within subtexts))) they are made tangible, negotiable, and resolvable. For The Left Body, Memento performs one such collision of parts: the circle, the stitch, and the subject/s ginkgo, the animals, and us. The circle is a lens: it draws focus to Bodies on the verge of becoming Left behind. Stitched, these circles indicate varying states of conservation and repair the broken stitch alludes to an urgency, and vanity, of action. Ginkgo is known to have survived atomic bombing, but however resilient, is an endangered species. Likewise, once resilient animals, now environmentally sabotaged, are not far from extinction. As human viewers contemplating these other animals contemplating their own mortality, we likewise doubly contemplate our own fragile existence on this tired Earth. LB x . . . Come and view the entire exhibit at The Art Passage, featuring The Left Body, Emily Dabron, and Dean Spinks. Many warm thanks to Crockers Paint and Wallpaper, Miranda, for providing this new gallery for local artists, and to Korynn Morrison for Directing and facilitating this unique space The Art Passage can be found at 1/206 Box Road Miranda Entrance is via Crockers Paint and Wallpaper Hope to see you there x

05.01.2022 Sebastian Its windy. The construction site across the road is covered in mesh. It billows with the wind like a Mexican wave, as if kids are running along hallways behind it all, running their hands along the inside of the fabric. Multiple levels of children all in unison, playing tag and screaming with joy. Its windy. And everything is animated, but fictional, because the pictures that Im imagining are just born out of the way these movements make me feel: ruffling tapestr...Continue reading

04.01.2022 Hello! Ran out of space in my phone after Sebastian was born so I stopped instagramming and have catch up to do These works were all sold at our group exhibit Memento at @the.art.passage with @deanspinks and @emilydabron October last year The rest of my works for Memento, (as well as works never shown and a couple of new series) will be reshown at my next event ... Memento was a group art show exploring the endangered animal world and my works were centred around notions of resilience and repair. Graphite works with hand stitched circles #derwentpencils #theframedepot #theartpassage #pencilart #elephant #panda #orangutans #leopard #artistsoninstagram
04.01.2022 Installation all done! I can wash my hair and eat and sleep and exercise Memento showing until 14th Nov. If youve not seen Dean Spinks or Emily Dabrons work up close before this is an amazing opportunity to get up super close to check out their hundreds of hours of line work .... The mezz floor doubles as a wallpaper showroom and Crockers have done an awesome job in making this a classy, welcoming and comfortable display space. So if youre a nerd for textile patterns and big beautiful drops of paper like me come have a browse upstairs either way! My work occupies the stairwell, which is what makes The Art Passage a unique gallery space. It might feel strange stopping midway up a staircase to check out some drawings but please do! Its all part of the art passage experience. The spatial/performance design part of me would love to do something more site specific on this stairwell one day, lots of potential! And as per tradition after any major deadline, now that I can relax, Ive come down with a mean cold #illlearnoneday The Art Passage Crockers Paint and Wallpaper Miranda/Sylvania and thank you as always Korynn Morrison
