Lyndal Hargrave's innovative use of the everyday melds colour and form into linear wall-mounted sculptures. The geometric constructions glow from the reflection on the wall of vivid pigment applied to the underside of the sculptures. The round symmetric forms are countered by seemingly organic, asymmetric shapes that twist and turn up the walls.
The familiar narratives of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast are two of the traditional tales reworked by Fiona Fenech in her series of hand-stitched drawings on paper. In 'Chinois Cinderella', Fenech highlights the Chinese origins of the story via the small slippers referring to the tradition of foot binding. Similarly, in 'Miss Beaute Monstre', she uses the feet of the young girl to embody the anamorphic aspect of Beauty and the Beast.
