On display 17 Jan - 14 Feb
We were all made in Burning Stars takes in twelve years of works on paper by Daisy Richardson. The recurring concerns in the work are time, space, the formation of the Earth and our place within it, human society and history. The title hints at distant beginnings when almost every element and atom now found on Earth (and in us) was formed in supernovae. Daisy’s work is an attempt to understand and domesticate these ideas with tables and chairs representing people, many of the works located in stripped down interiors and meteorites doubling for the unknown.
Daisy will also be presenting a large sculpture Yellow Bunker at the Wyllieum to coincide with the exhibition at Beacon Arts Centre.
