HomeTime | SmallWorks Gallery | March 24 - April 14
Posted in Artists, Exhibitions & Events, UAP People by Anna on 20th March 2012
SmallWorks is a bespoke gallery space in inner city Brisbane, with a dedication to exhibiting a broad range of works that are visceral in content and aesthetic. Urban Art Projects creative leads, Alanah Walker, Amanda Harris, Daniel Clifford, Jamie Perrow and Stacie Gibson have helped successfully deliver some of the largest scale public realm artworks both nationally and internationally. As a stark contrast to their everyday they often create small, intimate and personal works in their domestic environments. HomeTime presents a select number of these and examines the monumental versus the miniscule, the public versus the personal, whilst posing the question, what do artists do at home when their workday hours are consumed with creating monumental artworks?
