Artist Statement
Pairing particular familiar objects with a figurative element (a pet male donkey) was the genesis of this series as a way of investigating the female/male dynamics. The following Mark Amery review snippet of associated prints gives one reading to that effect '... Horner opens out for questioning the symbolism of domestic settings and gender roles with intriguing, surreal recontextualisation of stock props. The surface ... is sectioned as if they have been unfolded, encouraging an unpacking of meaning, while the still subjects are coolly dramatised by shadows and shading.'
About the Artist
Maree Horner
The processes of printmaking, painting, mixed media, and digital imagery are Maree Horner’s main areas of investigation. Principally her work explores the nature of the relationship between the feminine and masculine, between the mind and the body, evoking the erotic through suggestive interplays. Often mixed-up scale serves to undermine existing power structures symbolically inherent in objects to establish new meaning.
After completing a Master of Fine Arts degree at Elam School in 1974 and a brief period of overseas travel in the late 1970s, she settled in Taranaki with her family where she still lives and works.
