The Thousands

If Clare Peake’s art practice were a character in Girl, Interrupted, it would be the one played by Winona Ryder – the promiscuous one. She’s had her roving little fingers in every artist-related pie from her own independently run art zine Tête á Tête and a residency at Fremantle Arts Centre, to a group exhibition at AGWA and one presented in some Brisbane baggage lockers.

While art might have imitated reality in Ryder’s case, following that certain issue with shoplifting and swathe of ‘Free Winona T-shirts’ to follow, we don’t think the same could be said for Ms. Peake. Thus far she’s stuck to the mysterious (and totally PG) realms of the landscape of the imagination as her subject, which she delves into further for Pilot. This one is being held at the similarly elusive sometimes gallery, mostly private residence, The Museum of Natural Mystery where you can witness more goods from her open relationship with illustration, sculpture and installation. Let’s hope no one gets hurt.
