'Caz Haswell: Made in Hong Kong/Curtains', Flinders Street Gallery, Sydney, 19 October - 11 November 2017
"Following her parents' deaths in 2015, Haswell collected a number of their possessions which she has subsequently responded to in 'Made in Hong Kong/Curtains.' Using resonant materials including velvet, leather, clay, zinc plate and glass, the artist explores the official and untold sides of family history. Rifles, silverware, ornate gilded frames, embossed leather book covers and dinner plates all suggest rich stories which invite the viewer to piece together this family's history and reflect on their own. The exhibition's title refers to beginnings and ends: the place of Haswell's conception, and a theatrical term for closure." - Chloe Wolifson
