Fuller's work is drawn from his own personal narrative as an untraditional Australian male, however his figures engage with the everyday pitfalls that are relevant to us all. Fuller's tiny, rotund men are many things, but mostly they are just in need of a good hug.
'Tense' is a show which brings together the artist's ongoing investigation into the notions of masculinity and a showcase for the cast of misfit male characters who have resulted. His leading men are potbellied, schadenfreude worthy ceramic figures who are also the stars of Fuller's captivating hand drawn animations.
