Project Arts Centre: Practical Magic



Practical Magic



As promised, I said I'd be doing a post on this cool exhibition I saw when I was in town the other day. "Practical Magic" by Jennifer Tee is an exhibition which delves into a cultural phenomenon of the occult versus reality.

 A serious of beautiful hand woven rugs and ceramic concave vessels invite visitors to unassumingly be invited into their own game of destiny.





Tee originally hailing from the Netherlands, has seen her work been exhibited worldwide. This global transience and the self automated nature of her work both lends itself to the unspoken notion of traveling through paths of unknown territory.

 I myself found myself in such said scenario as I walked in between her pieces. Almost treading carefully from around the hand woven rugs to establishing a more confident stride around the ceramic pieces. 








This lack of equilibrium in my afterthoughts of the exhibit sought me to question and furthermore establish a more confident assertion.

A more definite self observation on my part, that perhaps Tee is trying to communicate here that inexplicably our misguided journeys in life are our own self projections. 

Our own projections of the natural assumption that at all times we have to some degree a definitive path in life.

Yet " it is only when we are lost do we truly find ourselves" as Henry David Thoreau once said. So I leave you with this thought, if you get a chance to go down to Practical Magic I encourage you to keep an open mind yourself. 

A perspective of not what these some what abstract pieces represent, yet to try and delve deep into your own natural assumptions of your own path in life.
