Turning Point

The latest Waterfront exhibition we thought to be aptly named ‘Turning Point’ as the Waterfront Gallery has been a turning point for us, especially in the sense of significant change. We took this opportunity to create an autobiographical map of our journey together as artists and friends, starting from our own ‘Turning Point’ when we rekindled our friendship and creativity and collaborated for our first exhibition at the Waterfront in January 2012.

This piece portrays our story. With decision and direction at the foundation of our theme, we explore how our paths are forged through the choices we make, no matter how big or small and how every decision affects our future. Not forgetting of course that all of our choices are also greatly influenced by chance. The colours represent a particular feeling or state of mind, while the stops are the places we have visited or been influence by along the way. The fan is a constant reminder that no matter what we do chance can always transform our plan.

We have created in a sense a map but not in the conventional way, as there can never really be a map for life. This is more like a trail, our journey so far and the twisting, turning, almost random route that we have taken. It is complicated and full of colour and most importantly it is yet to be finished.

Open until December
