Wendy Sharpe: I Am All Those Who Are No More | Rockhampton Museum of Art
Wendy Sharpe is one of Australia’s most awarded artists, painting in genres that include portraiture, parody and allegory. As a muralist, Sharpe has completed several large-scale installations across Sydney including The Women’s Empowerment Mural in Newtown, the Annette Kellerman Murals in College Street, and Vu iz dos Gesele (Where is the Little Street)? at the Jewish Museum.
Sharpe’s mural for Rockhampton Museum of Art takes its title from a line in the Argentinian-Swiss writer Jorge Luis Borges’ poem, All Our Yesterdays (1973-74). Borges references the past and his identity across generations and geography. Likewise, in Sharpe’s artwork, a central figure (resembling Sharpe) is accompanied by what the artist describes interchangeably as ‘perhaps ancestral ghosts, perhaps creatures, perhaps monsters’ floating above and around her.
Unlike a painting on canvas or a drawing on paper, a mural painted directly onto a wall carries defined limitations to its time and place.

In this installation, Offerings references Jungian archetypes and breathwork; the form of each object beginning ‘with an intention, a mindful breath, and a letting go a...

Went to see this place today, sorry but can't think of one nice thing to say about it, Very ugly cold and unwelcoming feeling building with no character, big open spaces filled with nothing, concrete floors white and neutral coloured walls with strange lines painted on some of them that look like a toddler was given a paint brush to put them there, large glassed areas and wire cables, an absolute insult to the building next door, I'd hate to learn the cost, And as for the artwork, I know there is many definitions of art but it was absolutely horrible, I understand you have to cater to everyone's taste but alot of the stuff I saw a fourth grader could have drawn with a crayon on the back seat of the car on the ride there. And I'm still not sure wich part was the museum. (Oh yer the staff were very friendly)
