‘MYTHO-POETIC: Print and Assemblage Works’ presents the recent works of Brisbane artist Glen Skien. This exhibition powerfully mines the human condition with artist books, collages, installation and printmaking that will bring to life social histories and vexing questions of Australian identity, place and myth.
Skien’s etching practice is the platform for his work in other media, while underlying narratives are presented through the use of symbolic imagery such as maps, letters, books and ephemera. The exhibition offers viewers an immersive experience rich in imagery that navigates residues of the past and creates new propositions for identity and historical awareness.
