Kristin McIver: Statement Pieces
James Makin Gallery67 Cambridge St, Collingwood
Kristin McIver's Statement Pieces changes the meaning of words and phrases collected from advertising through context within her artworks. The text-based neon pieces and multi-facteted installations break down the illusionistic constructs of the media and advertising, through her skilful manipulation of meaning and message.
Your Shining Star seduces, inspires, instructs, and while on further contemplation, presents simply a neon sign, shining in fluorescent luminescence. The decadence proposed by The Good Life is rendered meaningless when placed upon a pile of chains and shipping pallets. Wishlist presents an indeterminate list of ideals, which in themselves are simply representational “wishes” eager to be satiated and replaced by the next desire.
