When you can’t find what you are looking for it is usually because you can’t see it. - A Constructed World
Works by ACW often defy categorisation. Rather than developing as a series of objects, each impulse is given a certain autonomy, enabling each work to act as a prompt or gesture towards another. It is in this proximity that the works become an accumulation of meaning, conjuring up previous works and versions that act again as prompts. In this sense, An Eel in the Devil’s Haystack is linked to ACW’s work Partition #13, Assemblée des culs / Ass Assembly, presented in The National 2021: New Australian Art at Carriageworks, Sydney.
Contrary to transgressive fascination or psychoanalytic reading, An Eel in the Devil’s Haystack explores the idea of what we experience in the mode of reception is nothing more than a material sense of our own living. Influenced by post-structuralism and relational aesthetics, ACW explore how reality is perceived through cultural models.
