The Tenacious Tree Huggers - Preview #2

About the theme, 'The tenacious tree huggers', for my upcoming solo exhibition at Whatiftheworld Gallery - opening 20 April 2011:

'The ironic exhibition title invites viewers to look at the body of work as a parody of our relationship with nature. Trying desperately to hold on to something that we feel part of, yet inherently misunderstand. The title’s derogatory reference is used as a satirical pun emphasising the ease with which we quip about stereotypes. The organic play, active in the exhibition title, is extended to the naming of the individual works. These titles invoke contradiction and humour as a means to interrogate notions around the human condition.'
