In an age where the boundaries of the imagination appear to be increasingly policed by the protocols of compliance\, Faulks’ engagement with paper is further deepened to explore bureaucracy\, institutional power\, and the influence of organisations on our everyday lives and our sense of self. \nThrough his assured use of pattern\, ornament\, repetition and symbolism combined with cutting\, incising and mark making that references both Western and Eastern traditions\, Faulks subtly draws our attention to the ambiguous qualities of paper. Both as a transient material of little consequence\, and a robust repository of knowledge\, easily preserved and easily destroyed. \nPaper Pusher follows on from Faulks’ successful solo exhibition There’s A Ghost In My House at JavaArts Gallery in Phnom Penh in January\, and in March Bluestonia Paperhood\, a collaboration with Chinese artist Zhou Bing of paper cut based paste up images that was shown on the streets Melbourne to great acclaim. \nPaper Pusher is generously supported by The Australia Council for the Arts.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1451285630325-09def419-bb74b1db-6de17e70-1b35″][vc_column_text]Philip Faulks was born in England and came to Australia in 1976 at the age of 17.
