About the Artwork:
” ‘Fracture/Memory’ captures the moment a memory takes over the present and catapults you back in time. It removes you from ‘now’ but doesn’t satisfactorily take to ‘then’ either, making it a fracture of time and energy. The woman in the painting, shown in two places of time, can be interpreted in a number of ways. The ambiguity of her expressions leaves room for the viewer’s own memories to super-impose onto the painting.” – Meredith Marsone
About the Artist:
Meredith Marsone is a New Zealander contemporary artist working in oils.
Meredith Marsone : “My work to date has been mainly involved in exploring themes around identity which stemmed from an inquiry into our national identity- what it is to be a New Zealander. Of late though my work has focused in on a more personal perspective. Some of my paintings look at the role of parenthood and how we are formed and influenced by the actions or inaction of our parents. Others explore identity as it is portrayed, enhanced or altered through beautification by using pattern, Ta Moko or tattoo, make-up and the things we choose to have around us.”
