Glass Armours explores the tension between the image we think we project and the reality of our experiences donning the armour of pride. It shows something that is ornamental and fragile rather than strong and solid, something heavy and burdensome rather than functional and light. The artist uses glass to create a phantom of ego we wrap around ourselves for protection, letting its translucency show its lack of substance, and beauty to show how highly we elevate its importance.
Exhibition current 3 – 27 February 2021
Glass Armours is part of Lunar North Confluence, exhibitions celebrating Lunar New Year on the North Shore.
