Artist Statement

Karma is a bitch examines metaphysical and utopian impulses of the recent past, such as the visual cultures associated with 1960s and 1970s American West Coast counterculture, ‘New Age’ spirituality and more recent tendencies towards self-help and therapeutic culture.

Close up, suspended printed textiles. Photo of sunset in pastel blue, pink and purple, with 3 dark lines across the center. 3 shapes in contrasting colours with patterns of circles, squares and triangles are pictured across the tapestry.
