In this exhibition, Hunt presents six handmade marionettes, which incorporate sculpture, ceramics, costume, woodwork, silk painting, and printing on fabric. Each is modeled on an esoteric individual whose spiritual convictions defied social conventions, including artist Rosaleen Norton (1917–1979), art critic James Smith (1820–1910), and violinist Leila Waddell (1880–1932). These characters' stories will be recounted by Hunt in a series of ‘puppet show' performances, held during the exhibition period, which collapses distinctions between reality and fantasy, truth and fiction, and life and death.

The themes of death and the afterlife are augmented by a psychedelic watercolour drawing based on the design of an Ouija board and painted murals, glazed ceramics, and etchings depicting ‘psychic places' in Sydney, haunted by history and memory.


When:
June 22 to October 07, 2024
