This one-hour artist talk will discuss the works in the exhibition and Simone Kennedy's artistic practice.

‘Changeling a, c & b, The Pulchritudinous (beautiful) Fly’ is a triptych that explores the interconnectedness of horror and pleasure, by reimagining how we think about ourselves, through the complexity of our lived experiences. The work aims to invite viewers to contemplate both consciously and unconsciously their own perceptions of ‘self’.

In Simone Kennedy’s studio-based practice she works with several interconnected themes, the translation of 'self', the brain, a symbolic mother figure and the common housefly. Through the interplay of memory, emotion and psychology, she uses the fly to realize the uncanny aspects of her imagination.
