Internal Travel
CURATOR: Alison Carroll
ARTIST: Hossein Valamanesh
Leading Iranian born Australian artist Hossein Valamanesh is well known nationally and internationally for his personal, beautiful interpretations of life around him. He brings in memories of life in Iran - through word, gesture and clothing - as well as his experience in Australia and reinterprets this to make an important universal statement about life today. Using the most common of materials - jute, stone, earth, flame, clothing - he creates three-dimensional spaces, evoking moments of peace, asking about identity, and referring to all our personal journeys.
This exhibition was shown in Lahore (1999).
