Neon Parc presents GODOT GROTTO GOROKE, George Egerton-Warburton’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

GODOT GROTTO GOROKE is an installation on a horizontal plane. A sprawl of objects, found, made, and altered, are organised like a community or congregation.

Textiles, augers, a meat-grinder, dust, a punching bag, a chair, a log, combine to create characters or effigies; a keg cut in half, stuck atop some trolley legs is welded into a portable BBQ; series of abandoned animal shelters evoke the paradox of mutual care and control; a maquette of an emu cuts a silhouette on the horizon; paintings suggesting states of mind or weather patterns that loom as expanses of space. Conceived of as a single entity, GODOT GROTTO GOROKE is a factory for meaning-making.

Opening Event: Friday 17 May, 6 – 8pm.
