This is an installation shot of the exhibition I have been posting about "Deposition : Drawn".
Here is the text of (long) statement I wrote for the exhibition:
"Deposition : Drawn" **
(An introduction by exhibition curator Tim Lowly)
Dear viewer,
Please note that the works in this exhibition are most likely not (about) what they initially appear to be. To better understand this exhibition please read the following.
As the curator and director of this gallery for over twenty-five years this exhibition is a rarity in that it brings together my role as gallery curator and my work as an artist. In relation to the latter, I am referring specifically to the most frequent subject of my own art: my now 37-year-old daughter Temma. Temma is and has been profoundly disabled since shortly after birth when she stopped breathing, had a cardiac arrest and–once revived–was having constant seizures: all of which ultimately resulted in substantial brain damage. Temma does not seem to be able to learn / remember. As such she exists attentively in a state of utter and profound innocence.
Temma is a member of a sector of society that is rarely seen and even more infrequently represented (pictorially or otherwise). Ethically it is a fraught thing to photograph someone who is unable to consent to being pictured. As such, individuals like Temma are largely invisible to (and unknown by) broader society. I find Temma to be a profoundly meaningful human and as her father I believe she is certainly worthy and deserving of representation. Much of my work as an artist has been Temma-centric. But this exhibition marks a new initiative titled “Deposition” in which Temma is conceptually at the center of the project but does not appear directly.
With this the first iteration of the Deposition project twenty-four artists have generously participated with their understanding that the exhibition would be symbolically, indirectly–yet centrally–related to Temma. I gave each of the participating artists a unique prompt which was informed by their own art practice and in some way–metaphorically, symbolically, poetically–by Temma. To be clear: every one of the images here was in some respect developed as a poetic / symbolic meditation on Temma Lowly (and–by extension–others like her).
For instance, following are examples of the prompts that led to four of the images made for the exhibition:
- Leyli Rashidi Rauf’s prompt was a drawing of a girl’s “pony-tail” of hair – perhaps being cut. The title of Leyli’s drawing “To break with the past” references the cutting of a woman’s hair as a gesture of protest in the current uprising for democracy in Iran. For Temma’s family the drawing also brings to mind the practice we have of cutting Temma’s hair every three years to donate it for wigs for people with medical hair loss.
- Emma Hadzi Antich’s prompt was a drawing of a baby mountain. One of Temma’s nicknames is “Baby Mountain”. This comes from my amusement when (as I was growing up in South Korea) American military would refer to their Korean girlfriends as “baby san”– with an unintended double meaning being that “san” can mean “mountain”. According to the artist her drawing of a mountain range–employing a stylization reminiscent of Orthodox iconography–protectively shelters the “baby mountain”. Emma’s meaning of the image certainly mirrors the way Temma’s care has been a matter of community.
- Greta Bisandola’s prompt was a drawing of utter innocence in a mysterious space. This Italian artist brought to her drawing a disconcerting juxtaposition of the head of a seemingly distressed infant on the torso of a woman’s body (the latter seemingly referencing the Italian Renaissance tradition sculptures of idealized nude figures). For Temma, who is 37 years old the existence in the body of an adult woman seems to be a truly mysterious thing.
- Alex Maczkowski’s prompt a drawing of a tree falling in the forest–perhaps with a bird taking off–whilst wondering if anybody hears taps the singer Bruce Cockburn’s twist on the famous philosophical question: “"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?". But Maczkowski’s prompt shifts the metaphor from Cockburn’s critique of deforestation of the Amazon (“If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?”) to wondering who hears–pays attention to–the profoundly disabled–i.e.the “fallen”.
** Deposition is a curious word that I am using here metaphorically with a nod to these two meanings:
1) Art historically: an image of Jesus being lowered from the cross by a group of people.
2) Legal term: out-of-court testimony made under oath and recorded by an authorized officer for later use in court.
THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A PERSONAL POLITICAL STATEMENT BY ME TO GENERATE DEBATE CONVERSATION – Rather, I found the scene offered a highly dramatic and photojournalistic opportunity with its display and complimentary surround...just so right for a monochrome image.
I found the display next to a small church in rural Iowa located near two intersecting crossroads that would force you to see it travelling from either direction.

One (or more) part(s) of Berlinesesberlin series.
There are just some photographs that need to be in monochrome or black and white. It gives a more powerful statement to the photo and what the photo is depicting. Such as the case here, when Ella came to visit today.
Got to see this image on white it’s really cool. This is a vertorama of a road under path alley near my girlfriend’s home. I was driving home last night from hers about 8 for pancakes (yummy) and I remembered this alley. I had me gear in the car. I down a quick u turn on the roundabout and shot into the local shops were this is located. Got out and took this HDR vertorama. I was getting some really strange looks for people passing by. Oh well, what you do in the name of Art.
The image to me is quite interesting. The detail along each wall, the difference in the art between old and modern, a transition between the social histories of the local area. What they used to do on the left and what they do now on the right (farming and graffiti art). I love the monochrome on the left and the very bright colours on the right, and right in the distance at the vanishing point is the commercial shops. Post modernism at is finest. Lol.
The shot is a three section vertorama created from 15 images. 5 Bracketed images for top, middle and the bottom. Processed in photmatix and then DRI treated on the lights, shop and coloured wall, and final treatment was all done in photoshop.

For everyone to have a look and a chance to figure out. OUT...
Rarely one expresses clearly the wish to head for the big gates (but to make a provocative statement, or out of insanity). While a myriad of little back doors are more easily approached. More discrete and welcoming, perhaps.
A feminine figure, here. OK, please wait... I declined a position in the inquisition... :) I just flipped coins. Woman it was. Had it been man, honestly, maybe I would have cheated, out of a sense of aesthetics. And said I’d cheated :) But definitely not me to make some utterly stupid associations.
I also did it for the sake of controversy :) Who wage war? Who commit mass murders? Who dare separate the mother and the child, in a dark and icy morning when the train is about to leave for hideous places? Who-men? I know there are exceptions to the evident facts. But come on, fellow guys... Well, there is good news, sometimes: The “Girl of Qatif”, rape victim sentenced to six month in jail and 200 lashes, has just been pardoned by the Saudi monarch (here, AP). Though “strongly” suggested a decision, maybe this was not such a simple one to take, even for a king. I’m so glad he did.
ps: 66? I SWEAR this is the true stuff - I wanted to erase it, too obvious a detail. Just a strange coincidence, too good to be scratched out, I thought. Well... Because the third digit is up to us, I guess.
pps, just in case... Technicalities. I "only" used four pictures, the door (WITH the number :), the model and blinds, the scorched earth, and small bits of winter trees. No stock images. Obviously, the sky is fake. As a good Brazilian friend stated recently, anyway real colors are fake :)
Rollei Retro 80S with 715nm IR filter, developed in XTOL 1+2 for 12:00 minutes.
I wanted more detail, more subtle tones and less grain. I also wanted to get rid of the black dots which haunted my Rollei IR400 film. All that has been achieved, so I'm happy.

artist statement: Multiverse celebrates the richness of cross cultural connections in our lives. As an Iranian-Australian I explore multi-layered association of reminiscence and belonging with nature-culture through experiencing the opportunity of living in both environments. Cut roots have long been metaphorically associated with human migration and displacement. These tree stumps carry tattoo-like imagery that are burnt into their skins and are inspired by traditional Persian patterns and calligraphy. They were collected at Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt CootTha an
d belong to widespread species in Queensland that were once planted from introduced seeds.

Voor de ingang van Algemene Zaken, stond een jonge vrouw op een kruk met ontbloot bovenlijf terwijl ze haar borsten met viltstiften aan het roodkleuren was. Niemand wist wat hier gebeurde, na enig rondvragen zei iemand: "vraag het haar zelf maar". Dus dat deed ik. "Ik maak een statement" zei ze. Waarover, waartegen, waarom? "Een radicaal statement" zei ze. Maar ondertussen kwamen 2 politieagenten die haar sommeerden de borsten te bedekken en mee te komen naar.... nog onbekend.
Iemand vroeg mijn kaartje (heb ik altijd bij me) want ze wilden deze foto's wel hebben. Ik hoor later wel waarover dit radicale statement ging.

performance, ± 6 min. (with performativity(?) prolonged to 3 hrs)
For the pahmphlet i was stuck by this sentence within the assignment "a radical message in a radical way." So i first thought about what a radical way was. I believe this is when it's unerasable. So i was thinking about writing with lipstick on some white walls in the school and what not. Then it developped in being an unerasable image in peoples minds. Or maybe what wpuld.ignite the most reaction.
As i did a naked performance once in school, and some were kind of crossed by that. And i knew that my breasts evoked this same kind of reaction on people, both on social media, in public and even under a shirt without bra, i wanted to do something with the ridicoulousness of this given. Especially nipples being censured as breasts are over sexualized and the increasing prudishness of society, which is especially taken out on female bodies, i wanted to question the radicality of my flesh. Is this radical enough for you? Is it radical at all? Police sure did thought so.
With writing variations of this question on my breats until covered, I state that breasts shouldn't be so radical - which apparently was quite a radical message an sich.
