‘Born Dancer’
‘Chasing Blind’
‘Your Ghost, Today’
‘Alluvia’ is an exhibition of a new and never-before-seen illustration series by Sydney artist, Matt Huynh. ‘Alluvia’ refers to the earth washed down a body of flowing water, sometimes resulting in the formation of a fan at the base of deep slopes.
When this collected earth has been found at the base of Martian craters, they are indicative of water’s presence and suggestive of proof of life. This kaleidoscopic collection of illustrations in ink, charcoal, pastels and paints on paper reflects upon the enduring fragments of the universal in the personal that harmonise towards a holistic and romantic relationship with our future.
To warn against that which may be lost should we grow insensitive, unaware, incapable or undeserving. To celebrate the release of this series, a print folio release and book will be released for purchase from the Paper Mill Gallery.
