Curated by Rosalind Davis and Jane Boyer.The work of Tom Butler, Alyson Helyer and Marion Michell forms a strange symbiosis, a disjointed world of macabre coexistence that holds humour, ambiguity, intensity and contradiction. Each artist explores identity and the psyche, the real and the unreal, showing us places, where, if we look, we may feel discomfort, anxiety and self-consciousness. The anguish of memory resurfaces as a physical representation via paint, crochet, paper sculptures, altered photographs and drawing. These three artists are exploring the un-real, perceiving the body in terms of the psyche; a psyche which distorts and mortifies. Their explorations coexist in harmony, appearing as if they come from our world, until we realize we have been beguiled into entering theirs. Butler, Michell and Helyer were selected for a group exhibition from over 250 artists worldwide as part of Core Gallery’s 2010 Open Submission Competition by our prominent judges Graham Crowley, Kate Jones and Matt Roberts.
