at M16 Artspace, Canberra, 2022
Helen Gory’s Entwine presents 80 collages accompanied by 80 gold squares … The internal combinations — a Renaissance portrait with a photographic image of clicking fingers for example — are confusing and contradictory. They expose the artist’s underlying theme of the disconnectedness that has permeated human relationships in the last few years. The golden blocks offer not only visual caesurae but also spaces for emotional and intellectual solace. This is a cleverly conceived and seductively achieved exhibition that deserves to be seen.
