Cut Cord by Skylen Dall
Artist: Skylen Dall
Venue: Canberra Contemporary Art Space
Opening: 6pm, Thursday 25 February 2010 until 7 March
Exhibition: CUT CORD is an installation that provides a space for reflection on a collection of personal objects.
Viewers enter a darkened space, where oversize veins emerge from the ceiling and connect with precious knickknacks scattered on the gallery floor. The veins taper to fine threads, and ribbons becoming delicate tendrils; a sensitive connection to the past.
CUT CORD questions our irrational attachment to inanimate objects and exposes the bitter sweet sentiment that binds us to them.
