KLEPTOMANIA

About

“A restless desire - to pirate the water, to pilfer the fre. Find it and keep it and make it your own whether it's blood or it is a bone. Possession obsession with passion for guilt, the moment they come, you'll see what you need. It's not an object, nor is it a thing; they tell you THE TRUTH and it's not what you think. Tey say that you don't own what you possess, the evidence's soaking in the juice of madness. An urge that is stronger than reason of mind, the mania is in you, it's making you blind. Fear mixed with pressure – the taste you admire make up the fuel for your restless desire.”

Sarah & James Arts present KLEPTOMANIA, an exhibition aiming to translate artistic creation by seeking its roots in inspiration, capturing the essence of something fleeting and unstable. Nineteen Artists were carefully selected for their personal interpretation and exegesis to the theme of 'Kleptomania' and above text. We now invite you into The Chalmers Bequest Gallery to explore the result.
