SMILING AND WAVING - UNEXPLODE THIS
Mae Finlayson
In this exhibition, I present a part retrospective of my artistic journey, emphasising the evolution of my creative self over the years. This platform serves as a unique collaboration between my past and present selves, illuminating the dialogue between my earlier works and my current artistic voice. By revisiting and reinterpreting my older pieces, I aim to generate new concepts and creations, showcasing a cyclical, batch-based approach to my creativity. Additionally, I will draw from a substantial archive of materials and creative outputs accrued over the years, including unfinished works that hold potential for exploration. Many of these pieces are over 20 years old, offering a historical perspective that enriches the collaboration. Ultimately, this exhibition seeks to launch a concept line of apparel and fabrics, bridging the gap between my past and present artistic expressions, inviting viewers to engage with the continuity of my work and the evolution of my ideas.
