The hair of the dog that bit you: the idea that the thing which causes the malady is the best cure or relief, as another drink in the morning is considered by some the best answer to a hangover.
About
The show explores a web of preoccupations: paintings which delve into the meaning of 'Hair of the Dog' and its link to alcohol-induced emotional turmoil; others, images which – through the hare and the dog – keep looking in to the mind for some sort of redemption; installations which explore the breaking by the cure itself – a ceaseless repetitive grind of disquiet, unrequitedness, restlessness and alcohol; as well as sound and text charting female friends’ paths of solidarity and self-destruction – a shaking off of anxiety through the high of doing it all again. Other work includes darkly playful Dada-inspired images; text and photography which binds the human into the non-human world; 3D work exploring the quirkiness of objects and what they can represent, and work founded in the colour and sensibility of Indian heritage.
