Lizhu Huang
Chutespace
Friday 29 September - Sunday 22 October 2023
Opening Thursday 28 September 2023, 6pm - 8pm
Lizhu Huang wants to use this series of figurines to symbolize the fragmented remnants of psychological disorder formed by people under external pressure. The eye, mouth, and nose are separated into parts and transformed; the front is representational and the back abstracted, she allows them to tilt, losing their balance. These sculptures are symbolic of the imbalanced psychology of people, where the eyes, nose and mouth are naturally gathered together but are now separated and off-balance under the influence of the external world. Lizhu wants to convey a feeling of unbalanced uneasiness.

When her children were younger she would read them a book called โBest Dog Party Everโ by Wendy Graham which has inspired this artwork. One of Jessโs favourite places to visit are dog parks - she loves seeing all the different breeds and quirky personalities. She thought creating a miniature dog party scene would bring a sense of wonder and joy to people of all ages.

Mustering the madness is a response to the ongoing insanity of the relaxed gun laws in the USA. The installation reflects on Australiaโs effective weapons round-up, whilst questioning why America cannot do the same.
Modelled on toy guns, with soft colours, glossy surfaces and floral decorations, this gun pile-up serves as a poignant reminder of the many children lost to, and involved in, mass shootings. It also speaks to the ubiquitous presence of guns โ in computer games, in the media, in film, television, in toyshops and for some, in reality. The question of whether our early and ongoing exposure to gun violence inspires violent behaviour in real life is a hotly contested topic, however, even when there is not enough evidence to support this connection, the question remains - why violence?
