Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features an intricate composition of various skull-like shapes and images arranged in the form of an inverted pyramid or diamond shape. The visual elements are predominantly monochromatic, with a range of black, white, and gray tones punctuated by occasional pops of color, creating a striking and visually compelling arrangement. The subject matter appears to be a commentary on mortality, with the abundance of skull-like forms serving as symbolic representations of death and the transience of human existence. The artist's use of collage and assemblage techniques lends the piece a distinctive, textured quality, contributing to its overall stylistic approach. This artwork seems to explore the duality of life and death, inviting the viewer to reflect on the fragility and impermanence of the human experience. ...

Artist

Jemima Wyman

B.1977, Australian

Jemima Wyman is interested in the notion of visual resistance through camouflage, patterning and masking. The artist – a palawa woman who is a descendant of the pairrebeener people of tebrakunna and poredareme – investigates and considers camouflage, when used by marginalised groups, as a tactic and subversive political and social strategy used to gain counter-power in conflict zones. Wyman recognises the importance of opacity in a post-truth society marred by state surveillance and hyper-transparency. Not only does camouflage and masking obscure identity, but ‘communal skins’ can act as a binding agent, creating collective identities; ‘when worn, a mask may permit an individual to simultaneously transgress social boundaries while belonging to a group. In this way, identity is expressed yet anonymity is protected.’ Written by Goldsmiths CCA ...
