“It's broken, twisted, busted and crap”
Kieran Stewart
16 May → 14 June 2014
It's broken, twisted, busted and crap presents a series of objects by Kieran Stewart. Misshapen and half-destroyed, each have suffered abuse and damage. Twisted and deformed to a point of almost comical absurdity. Forms that may be familiar with known functions, subjected to warping by harsh physical forces.
Corrupted objects presented as if abandoned mid-way; like ruins, they have deteriorated between their prior and pending form. Formal shape and defined materiality of these objects will never be complete.
Kieran Stewart is a Naarm/Melbourne based visual artist working across the mediums of video, image making and sculptural installation. His practice revolves around exploring gross excess and notions of exhaustive labour; affecting stresses such as physical and mental exhaustion.
