Effacement

Karenne Ann (AUS) and Heather Horrocks (AUS) / Australian Premiere

Photographer Karenne Ann and mask maker Heather Horrocks explore identity and how masks can change the way you are seen. In this exhibition Karenne Ann’s portraits of Heather wearing her masks loom large and distort her image. Redundant VHS tape that once held stories is manipulated with a crochet hook to tell new ones – about the war on a virus, the war on climate change and the war on women.

Tape leaks into and around the recreated sitting room of the Lindsay family of artists from Creswick, disturbing its tranquillity. Karenne Ann and Heather Horrocks, who live and work on Wadawurrung Country, have formed a post-pandemic collaboration called ISOyoh.
