Colour Correction Series ' Skin on Skin' 600 x 600 mm Synthetic Polymer Paints on Canvas KFA222502COLOUR CORRECTION SERIES When you fix a mistake, you make a correction, a change that rights a wrong. When you correct a misspelled word, you've made a correction. Well done! Correction also applies to punishment, which is another way to right a wrong. A correction is an improvement or a revision when there's something that needs to be fixed.
Konstantina known for powerful use of colour has put together a series of work that annotates today’s political and socio-political environment from her perspective as an Aboriginal woman, mother and activist.
Each work plays on a double entendre based on typically European interpretations of words, though uses colour to counter that European meaning.
Skin-on-Skin is a well-known practise for first contact between Western babies & their mother’s at birth; though Konstantina has exacerbated the colours of the most iconic skin tones in the world and has used them to tell a different story altogether in her contemporary dot-painting piece. This is just one example of the work included in this exhibition.
SKIN ON SKIN
Skin-on-Skin is a well-known practise for first contact between Western babies & their mother’s at birth; here I’ve exacerbated the colours of the most iconic skin tones around the world and has used them to tell a different story altogether, one of harmony when skin colours are united in hope.
