Lost in Colour
Drawing on and continuing from previous investigations into Colombian artefacts this exhibition explores a more imagined reality, a world that is lost in colour.
Searle’s newest body of work creates stories melding his Australian childhood with a constructed perception of Latin America. Collaging imagery from texts, Lost in Colour explores the space in between the artist’s dual identities.
