'We’re looking at two different ideas of humans’ tendency to want to believe in something other than what is really there...'
Exorcism at Wendy's explores the realm of the phantastic. Belief in the phantasms of the past such as The Loch Ness Monster, ghostly spectres, Little Green Men, and Bigfoot have mostly been put to bed through modern scientific analysis. But what has replaced these bug-a-boos?
Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro combine the diaphanous spectres of the past with the delusions of the near-present. Utilising Lego as its primary medium, Exorcism at Wendy's offers Lego mosaic renderings of endearing paranormal entities of the past combined with small Lego sculptures of improvised weapons collected in the aftermath of the January 6 insurrection in Washington, D.C.
Opening celebration: Fri 5 April 6–8pm.
