Beneath the Pond continues an ongoing practice examining simulations of nature and expressions of masculinity. The exhibition includes new photographs, collages, drawings and paintings based on fishing lures and their colour patterns. This body of work considers lures as readymade sculptural objects, their relevance to cultural and family histories, as well as human-fish relationships, touching on current discussions around water, resource extraction and conservation.
