She sleeps, with a shining aqua sword and a flip knife in a tiny handbag. She knows: express posted salmon is still good to eat, hallucinogens’ will turn your breast milk green and a raccoon, and a cat can be friends, but they can also be enemies. She says, don’t take the boat with the big guy in the fluoro orange onesie he’s gonna eat snakes alive while you die. When you hug her, your feet are off the floor; she’s the throat of the waterfall.’ – Jedda-Daisy Culley
Jerico Contemporary is pleased to present our fourth solo exhibition with Australian artist Jedda-Daisy Culley, And your mother’s psychic spaghetti river. Showing exclusively online, the exhibition opens on Thursday 12th August and will continue through to Saturday 4th September 2021.
And your mother’s psychic spaghetti river sees Culley explore a narrative perforated by deception and her fatalistic relationship with misconception, entering the space between death and survival. Fooled again by masters of disguise and working through her profound emotional response, the artist draws on themes of abandonment, fear and strength; speaking to the sentiment that there is no greater power than a mother fighting to save her children.
