SHELLY'S HALLUCINATION
Exhibited in my first solo show at the then Iris Fisher Gallery (Pakuranga) this painting was removed after only one day on show without my being informed. Quite incredulously I was required to go into the gallery and explain the meaning of this work and provide a written statement. Anyone familiar with the infamous night in which Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron and his personal physician John Polidori sat around on a stormy night at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva to tell horror stories will recognise the tale behind this artwork and why the sleeping woman's nipples are eyes. It was the year Mary Shelley would conceive Frankenstein. Saddly it's poor reception by some of the art going community indicative of Victorian New Zealand attitudes. 		–SPECIFICATIONS
