Backstory:

I don't know what it is, or supposed to be,

across the ocean, on the other side.

Backstory:

There's a lot to be said in regards to old mate the white rhino here, maybe some social commentary, maybe a friendly jab at the current state of affairs. Whatever makes you happy, makes the rhino happy to, and thus I'll leave the meaning up to you. - Mara.

Backstory:

Harry and Bob are emus, living in the bushlands or moist alleys around town. Other than being a nuisance to locals, both Bob and Harry really like talking about theological stuff, and keep those theories in their hearts - Mara Is.

I'm very proud of Harry & Bob, they got featured in a little exhibition today, unframed and pinned up by three pins and three pins only, they way Bob wanted it to be.

Flip For Mood

Medium:

Acrylic Paint on canvas

Dimensions: H375mm*W910mm (framed)

Backstory:

Four Katz be situated in different orientation on the perspective plane of the human eye. Gradually coming in out of focus, a fluctuation between the peripheral to the central, like a pendulum of spacetime perception.

To view the Katz they must be snared, caught with canvas and paint, still normative function is a concept still foreign to these creature of the myth so strange, only found in the poems of the saints of long ago, in Junkfood poetry it was arranged. - Mara Is.

Not From Here To

Series: Not From Here (2)

Backstory:
A figure be staring out from his plane of existence, seeing life in the world of the Technicolor while he himself is still but processed through a threshold of a double toned perception, the black and white. What do we see when we exist in context allien to our own, and what to others see when looking at a stranger from somewhere other than here. -Mara.

Screamer from Afar

Medium: Graphite and Acrylics on Canvas

Dimensions: H420mm*W594mm (unframed)

Series: Not From Here (1)

Backstory:
Katz always land on their feet,
or that's what we're told to believe.
To end six feet lower than the earth that we walk,
and live nine times less than the one we see.
-Mara Is.
