Shelter in Another body
Strokes In Blue (b. 1990, Naarm) is a surrealist enquiring her elusive psyche with unexpected metaphors. With her exhibition, Shelter In Another Body, she plays with the indisputable feeling of home we feel with some people and in some places. She rejects the constraints of her physical body, and the limited sense of belonging she feels because of it, in familiar and foreign places and faces; and the limited sense of belonging she feels in it, rejecting her own idiosyncrasies and inadequacies.
Shelter In Another Body touches on themes of love, belonging and posthumanism the artist invites us to transcend our human form and view each other as fabricated architecture holding, harbouring, sheltering many stories, experiences, lives and realities (some distorted) of familiar and foreign places and faces.
