“Deep Cuts”
Ellequa Martin
12 Oct → 3 Nov 2007

Deep cuts,
Down into the ever yonder,
It can be felt on the other side,
You can feel it all over.

Deep Cuts is an installation observing destructive and hostile deeds towards fragile environments. A mood of seizure and infestation dominates a peaceful place of habitation, from which an awkward overtaking emerges. Seemingly endless pillage and plunder is further morphed and manipulated to an irksome moment, in which things are forevermore left looking not quite right. Deep Cuts reflects on the inevitable chain of cause and effect, catching our tails quicker than we think.

Ellequa Martin is a Melbourne-based artist. She completed a Diploma of Visual Arts/New Media at Swinburne University in 2002 and a Bachelor of Fine Art – Painting at The Victorian College of the Arts in 2006.

Deep Cuts has been generously funded by the City of Melbourne – Young Artists grant 2007.
