Chelsea Gustafsson: Souvenirs

Chelsea Gustafsson: Souvenirs

Starts: Friday, 30 August 2024
Ends: Saturday, 21 September 2024
Gustafsson has always been interested in using her art to address issues of environmental damage, pollution, and consumerism. Through her playful juxtaposition of man-made objects and organic elements, her images highlight the uneasy coexistence between the two. This tension is a hallmark of her work, reflecting on the boundaries between the natural and man-made worlds. ‘Souvenirs’ builds on these themes, incorporating recurring symbols of chairs, postcards, and packaging to create scenes that are both precarious and playful, rich with symbolic meaning and layered imagery. Through a series of still-life tableaux she invites viewers to contemplate humanity’s relationship with the environment, challenging you to consider whether you want the natural world to be reduced to mere memories and postcards from a bygone era.

New to Common Times? Here's our Quick Start Guide to help you.

Common Times acknowledges the traditional owners, first storytellers and custodians of the land we live on. We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their ongoing connection to land, sea, and community. Their sovereignty was never ceded.
