more »Exhibition Statement | HERENOW | 24: Mummy’s Agony is the inaugural solo exhibition by emerging Perth artist Marina Psaila. Psaila, an eccentric and vibrant personality, explores themes of profound meaning to her such as dreams, childbirth, nature, identity and religion. Psaila also traverses themes of seemingly trivial subjects such as butterflies, birds, goldfish and everything else. This exhibition offers viewers a glimpse into Psaila’s chaotic world of whimsy, colour, confusion, love, trauma, happiness, fixation and creativity, weaving a never-ending story of who Marina Psaila is. The answer to this question is subject to daily transformation.Psaila invites viewers into her chaotic and compelling world and encourages contemplation of her work. Although not immediately evident Psaila’s practice stems from a lifetime of pivotal and life altering events which changed the trajectory of her life, shaping her arts practice. Once an aspiring fashion designer Psaila has now found her place in contemporary art and proudly shares her innermost feelings for the world to see.As the curator of this exhibition, I welcome viewers into this sacred space and invites viewers to look beyond the surface, open their minds and hearts to provide the context for experiencing this exhibition. Consider Psaila’s journey while engaging with the profound layers of Mummy’s Agony.Artist Bio | “I am an artist who uses mixed media to express my themes of dreams, childbirth, nature, identity and religion. I love to create using vibrant colour’s and gestural lines, which depict my world. My inspiration comes from journeys with friends.”
