I am so pleased to be part of the artist group Fabelist run by Francesca Goodwin, who has worked really hard to secure an exhibition titled Imprint at the Centre of Possible Studies, Serpentine Gallery. The exhibition which includes performances opens on the 27th of January and will run for a week! It is really important for me to support this project because it is about bringing different hybrids together with the community as the focus.
How can we as artists impact society?
For the exhibit I have submitted 2 collage artworks from my Lady Garden series. Here’s one of them with written context below…
Lady Gardens.
Two words side by side that make an indelible impression on all who hear them. Children may see flowers pretty and peculiar. Men see mother, mouthwatering and mysterious. Women see themselves flattened, flattered or flaunted. The space around Narielwalla’s bold collages invites the individual imagination of the viewer to blossom. He breathes life into antique tailoring patterns rescued from the 1930′s onwards all too often left orphaned by deceased gentlemen whose shrunken shanks have no need for fabric. Freed from function tailoring patterns are drawings ahead of their time; anthropomorphic in origin and beautifully abstract in isolation. This is an artist who hasn’t touched this particular muse since birth yet like any man cannot resist but return to the grip of those lips that first spoke his name. Handling folds of stiff brown paper he yearns his becoming; cut, curved, c**t.
