Neurotic – a subject of being

Andrew Hayim de Vries recent window exhibition at the store was certainly one that stopped those passing by!

“A story into the continuum”

Rhythmic, exquisitely balanced assemblage sculptures of glass and mixed media sculptures that in the past, in their journey were embraced, loved and treasured.  Being part of a person, a household, a culture, a tradition they were embraced in a union of one or the other, in time, in need , in celebration.

Then in part, discarded, damaged, rejected, lost and forgotten.  Rescued, united, ‘housed’, contained and re-united back into ‘the living space’ with acceptance, of joy, beauty and ‘maybe’ love.

It’s the material.  It’s the subject..........of being.

This exhibition at Behind the Monkey was also the prototype and first of the concept Andrew created -
 

“Onedashfour” = Art in Shop Front Windows 2010

The project will see a range of local artists participate in individual week-long window exhibitions to be launched each month. 
Watch for these exhibitions to be held in various shop front windows across Perth.

Photo Shoot.........

Eddie dos Santos, fabulous fashion styler took off with a bag of mixed goodies from Behind the Monkey (Mania Mania, Why Creations and some earthy tribal treasures from the Middle East) and teamed up with the talented photographer Nicole McCluskey  to produce an amazing shoot.

The Monkey just LOVES it!

(Check out the full shoot on Nicole’s archives).

Long Lost Secrets

Compelled to explore the concept of a wax seal and how it must break apart to reveal a secret, TMOD were inspired to allow the mystery of the Lost City of Atlantis to become a metaphor to demonstrate this.  By unearthing the relics, fossils and treasures of a Continent long lost in ancient history they appear to reveal a hidden past............

 Stunning sterling silver pendants & rings, bracelets beautifully etched with a delicate engraving...... faceted caged gemstones spinning mysteriously....... the emblem of Poseidon’s winged horse that echoes a statue said to stand in the City’s central temple....... a seal on a chain with its own wax to secure your own secret........ a compass to show the way............ the whispers of a shell that speaks stories of the lost but highly advanced civilisation that Plato spoke of as early as 335BC..............

.ssssh............it’s a secret.........and one you need to make your own......

This beautiful interactive and tactile range of collectable jewellery from the wonderfully creative TMOD team in Sydney is now available in store at Behind the Monkey.
