Davina Jackson creates an intimate study of the family dynamic, where the relationship between husband and wife, parent and child take centre stage. Through tonality and form, she acutely conveys a subtle dialogue of care and affection, where embracing figures recline and comfort in the presence of the other. Though there is drama in these […]

Mona And A Pair of Panties is a cheeky and innocent reference to Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa (1503) - in this case, embroidered on a pair of socks, one of which had gone missing along with a pair of underwear, thus resulting in the title of this exhibition. Teasing such threads from art history, Jesse Kase hints […]
