SUMMARY:Confrontations - Unquiet Images from the University Collection

Dragon’s Teeth (1994) is a pieced\, dyed and photo-silkscreened expanse of cloth measuring three by four metres. It incorporates life-sized silhouettes of Allied soldiers with images of screaming children and hand-written extracts from Dorsey’s father’s World War II journals. As a revision of the usual epic memorial\, Dragon’s Teeth makes a fitting centre-piece for an exhibition about the imagery of confrontation and armed conflict. \nThe exhibition in the mezzanine gallery includes two further works: Margaret Clarke’s “Mother Ireland” portrait Mary and Brigid (1917)\, and Bruce Johnson’s mural-sized photo-mosaic Oka (1992).[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16667\,16668\,16669″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
