As a young girl growing up in Zimbabwe\, Phiri was encouraged to learn a variety of creative skills including\, crafting\, sewing\, and clay work. Phiri learned to sculpt and mix different coloured clays by decorating the wall plastering of the huts where she lived and grew up. Phiri channels and repurposes these skills in her artwork today\, choosing to work instead on canvas and with acrylic mediums. Her artwork focuses on life through positivity. Through her work she seeks to engage the viewer with stimulating colours and a whimsical joy that draws from the beauty of everyday life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

They roam\, wander\, twist\nand turn. Starting with random mark marking\, they take on a momentum of their own until\nsemblances of images emerge. I use techniques as starting points to stimulate imagery\nfrom the subconscious mind. Continuous line drawing and doodling can encourage\nmeandering thoughts from which to build. Combining ink\, water and salt enables\ntransformations of found shapes and structures. Erasing graphite\, ink and pastel marks\nwith rubbers or water (if using yupo paper) leaves ghost prints to further develop. I see\nlines and I follow them; marks take on forms and I explore them as they lead me on an\nintuitive\, meditative journey. With the accompaniment of music\, a euphoric trance-like state\ncan be reached. \nRotation of the paper while working is an integral part of the process\, forcing the eye to\nsee in other ways. Numerous configurations in which to view diptychs and triptychs are\npossible. Which way is up? The excitement of resolving struggles to enable the work to\nreveal itself is addictive. \nThe consistent subject matter in my imaginary landscapes is triggered by an enduring\nfascination with textures\, patterns and life forms in the natural world. Although I don’t draw\ndirectly from nature or use references to create the works\, these worlds run parallel with\nmy art. Ambiguous macro scenes suggest forests\, subterranean and underwater worlds.\nSoft\, curved biomorphic forms merge internal and external worlds. \nDrawing has become my passion. As I come from a printmaking background where\nplanned and controlled processes were required\, it has been liberating to relinquish rigid\nmethods and embrace spontaneous exploration. \nThe works in this exhibition were made during the pandemic. As I worked on my art\, my art\nworked on me as a therapy\, providing comfort in times of stress and anxiety. I invite the\nviewer to engage with these works – to drift\, dream\, meditate and escape.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef”][vc_column_text]Artist’s Bio // Alison Russell \nEducation\n1989\nBachelor of Fine Art majoring in Printmaking\nMonash University\, Caulfield \nSolo Exhibitions\n2019\nAcufitz\, Melbourne\n2018\nCambridge Studio Gallery\, Melbourne\nGroup Exhibitions\n2019\nEmerge\nBrunswick Street Gallery\, Melbourne\n2018\nFinalist in Life Abstracted\nCambridge Studio Gallery\, Melbourne\n2008\nAlafia Gallery\, Melbourne\nGasworks Arts Park\, Melbourne\n2007\nGasworks Arts Park\, Melbourne\n2006\nGasworks Arts Park\, Melbourne\n1990\nLinden Gallery\, Melbourne\n1989\nCaulfield Arts Complex\, Melbourne[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

However\, in the course of the history of culture\, this sensory approach has more often been replaced by an intellectual understanding of the form of well-known objects. Thought\, content\, and illustration suppressed form; the description replaced the understanding. \nFilip’s sculptures are born out of a deeply personal iconology which resist interpretation in terms of simplistic symbolic equations. The major aim in creating his works is “to give to materials\, such as metal and stone\, a new identity – encoding messages of human emotion\, solitude\, and the inevitability of death within forms – all things that future generations will have to face as long as the planet Earth exists”. \nThe artist combines metal and stone forms\, suggesting the frailty of human existence\, or powerful monolithic shapes\, tarnished by the patina of time\, in an effort to indicate “visibly or invisibly” fragments of human existence. \nThis latest collection of sculptures visually examines the deep convictions of human experience. These emotions are often associated with struggle that we are all so familiar with. They are celebrated through simple abstract shapes and forms. The human figure is distorted to an elegant simple form creating tension and silent dialogue between the viewer and sculpture. The narrative of the characters contrasts with its hi-tech surface finish and colour further evoking their symbolism. They are all individual pieces and yet they share certain emotive and spiritual qualities that unite them all together. \nAbove all\, Filip’s sculptures\, project a sense of timelessness\, a concept of fragments from the past located now between the past and the future – with all the sense of mystery\, which this concept holds.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
