Abstract

You look at the work and ask What is it about? I whisper Its a secret. You look confused. I add Falling, time, history, place, identity, material, shadow, representation, and not knowing. You are pleased yet perplexed. I won, though it isnt obvious is it? Ill explain then. Its about decolonization.
Everything That Matters uses the trophys form as a subversive symbol to erode seemingly solidified colonial constructs. A field of trophy-like things, including papier-mch sculptures, cement wreaths and granite cairns, invoke time, history, and epistemology not as ideasbut as materials. This exhibition is a gathering of fragments that confuse representations, rearranging and reforming them to create a space for alternative and complexing dialogues.
