An Iconography of Doubt: Paintings of Collective and Private Disaster
ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION
DATES & TIMES
27 October - 13 December 2024
Open Daily: 10am - 4pm
Esther Deans’ thesis exhibition is an accumulation of ideas and imagery from four years of study towards her PhD through the Auckland University of Technology. This research was a personal investigation into her experiences and preoccupations, including ideas about eschatology, time, literature, art history, memory, and nature. In these works she draws on novels, films, and everyday structures to create an iconography that responds to personal and collective disaster.
