The annual Side Gallery end-of-year show is titled ‘Burn’ for the 2022 iteration, which will run from December 1 — 17.
The word Burn elicits subjective definitions and associations for the artists involved; to burn, to light fire, climate change, heat, colour, pain, repair, to seal or cauterise, thus heal, to long for, to ignite, scorch, char, to burn out, burn bright, burn the candle at both ends.
The message is to find a personal significance through a common term and produce work that can be attributed to the singular, no matter how far removed and subjective.
Michael has 3 works featured in the show, these can be viewed online here: https://sidegallery.com.au/exhibitions/burn
