GLIMPSE ART SPACE
KIM HENENBERG
Disgorge - verb, meaning to vomit - to physically throw out from the throat or stomach.
Artist Statement
IS THIS DIGITAL AGE OF TOTAL INFORMATION SATURATION QUITE DIFFICULT TO DIGEST? IS IT STUCK IN MY STOMACH AND MAKING ME FEEL SICK? DO I NEED TO DISGORGE AND LAY DOWN? CAN I DECIPHER WHAT IS IMPORTANT OR WHAT IS REAL? DID I JUST TAKE PANADOL FOR MY THUMPING HEADACHE? DID I FORGET OR DID IT NOT WORK? DID I TAKE A DOUBLE DOSE AND THIS IS WHY I FEEL NAUSEOUS? DID RUSSIA JUST BLOW UP A MATERNITY HOSPITAL? WHO WILL THIS CHRONIC ILLNESS END? HOW LONG CAN I SIT IN MY TINY STUDIO CREATING FANTASY WORLDS? CAN I CLASSIFY THIS DISORDER WITH MARK MAKING PERSEVERANCE? DOES THIS DIARY OF ALIMENTS GIVE ME SOLACE? HOW GREAT ARE PICKLES? BEAUTIFUL MOON TONIGHT?
A solo exhibition at Glimpse Art Space featuring 12 works on paper.
