Art Exhibi.on ‘Me, We’ by Liz McCrystal runs Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Saturday 132017November 28 April December 7th, Vol 48 27th 2018 to Saturday 21 November 2021 at the Narooma Gallery (formerly SoArt Gallery), Narooma. Me, We is a mixed media exhibi>on that uses roadwork and construc>on aesthe>cs to analyse the concept of roman>c love. A mix of photo, text, ceramics and everyday objects are deployed resul>ng in a tongue-in-cheek expression of contemporary and historic ideas and ideals around roman>c love. For some, the quality of our roman>c rela>onships underpins the quality of our lives overall, making the weight of finding roman>c love one of the most important things in an individual’s life. Yet, unlike roadwork naviga>ons, we are le: in rela>ve isola>on, traversing this arena with few tools and an out-ofdate road map. Liz says “Love, more specifically, roman>c love has had me raging with significant others since I started da>ng. A lot of insidious roman>c ideas from mainstream, pop-culture shaped my ideas and made me believe for a long >me that there was a sort of checklist to roman>c love.” Liz McCrystal is a visual ar>st based on the NSW South Coast whose prac>ce explores themes of iden>ty, isola>on, in>macy and anxiety through the theore>cal framework of the human condi>on. Experimental in approach, Liz uses photography and installa>on to deconstruct auto-biographical, topical and philosophical subjects. Liz completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts in 2009 and has exhibited with; Photo Access Firstdra:, Verge Gallery, 107 projects and the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery.
