ARTIST STATEMENT FOR INCANDESCENT EXHIBITION
Incandescent for Syndy relates the hope that a single ray of light can give to any given experience and situation. In her love of art, philosophy & political theories, Syndy was not only able to achieve a voice for the brumbies but relate and use her art to bring awareness to our human condition that effects our environment and our fauna. It was inevitable that her journey took her here, not only by chance but by a chain of mnemonic experiences & events that linked her research of family and the individual of the everyday life starting from her childhood love of horses. The political upheaval of the brumbies magnifies the problems of our human condition that governs the environmental management of flora and fauna. By using portraiture Syndy gives voice to the sentient by having their history and backstory attached to each individual brumby
portrait. The brumbies are wild brumbies captured from Kosciuszko National Park and rehomed to primary rehomer Clearview Brumby Rescue. Each with a family and a story to tell. The theories of freedom, labels, Speciesism, family and hierarchy are challenged as well as the rights of animals questioned within our society via Portraiture.
