Hide and Seek (2018) Hide and Seek was a presentation of work produced during my six month studio residency at The Bridge Guard Art and Science Residency in Sturovo, Slovakia. The exhibition showcased an experimental body of work that explored patterning and colour clashing as a simultaneous means of camouflage and pronounced visibility. Expanding on my continuing inquiry into masking and bodily play, this body of work relates to the awkward process of blending in and standing out within a foreign environment through the lens of childhood games and the performative nature of non-verbal communication. Elements of this body of work were re-developed as part of a commission for Bathurst Regional Gallery, Australia.
