Seven (un)clear signs
September 23 - October 10
Level 1, 119 Hopkins St, Footscray
Wed-Sat 12-5pm
Ought I say, “I shall take you, take you to the
gate”? Yet I fear being too
demanding. Brought low, brought
low. I pray you be brought high, brought
high. By seven signs, some I have seen,
some I have heard, some I have made, some of mere longing. Thus gently I invite, “Come and see, taste
and see.”
James Murnane completed
his BA(FA) at RMIT University in 2006, and lives and works in Melbourne,
Australia. His practice focuses upon the
transcendent capacity of visual and spatial encounters. James and his wife recently undertook a month
long residency at La Fragua, Belalcazar, in the province of Cordoba, Spain,
after travelling the country encountering the depth of its sacred art, architecture
and festivals.
