Show runs 2 April - 12 May
As a sculptor Anton Parsons is known for his belief in shape, texture and colour. In repetition and sequences, lucky combinations and topsy-turviness.
Here he shows 35 works on paper. Simply titled “History” (1978-2012 Mardi Gras years), he deals with years and numbers, and the memories they hold. They jumble, condense, overlap.
Sometimes years are reminders. Reminders of people hurt, of great bloody disasters, car crashes and ambulance trips. Or long periods doing shitty unloved jobs.
Or years to rejoice. Where we emerged blinking, smiling, happy.
So remember and rejoice with Anton Parson’s works, pour your own meaning into each, or see them whole as a generation.
