Sepulchre | 2015 | Boxcopy, Brisbane
Over the summer Anastasia utilised the gallery as a studio space, creating a new body of work exploring specific mythological figures and contemporary rituals, drawing parallels between these personages, and how their history spoke to themes of volition, desire, pleasure and disillusionment. Sepulchre brought together the outcome of this research, with an embodiment of Baubo as a mediated performance, the sculptural remnants of a star gazing performance where the artist located Andromeda, and an abstraction of Bernini's The Ecstasy of St. Teresa.
