Jacky Winter is pleased to present Life as a Circus by Christina Darras – a series of paintings, crochet, paper puppets, and soft sculpture that explore the playful, unpredictable nature of life. Through her tactile practice, Darras investigates themes of uncertainty and uprootedness. Forms borrowed from circus characters encapsulate a sense of constant movement. Characterised by a feast of colours and recurring circles symbolising perpetual motion, the series features both figurative and abstract forms.
Life as a Circus is a celebratory expression of the illusion of reality, as all performances are.
