The Absurd Creator

24 November - 12 December 2020

Opening Night | Thursday 26 November, 6-8pm (RSVP)

“To work and create 'for nothing', to sculpture in clay, to know that one's creation has no future, to see one's work destroyed in a day while being aware that fundamentally this has no more importance than building for centuries- this is the difficult wisdom that absurd thought sanctions. Performing these two tasks simultaneously, negating on one hand and magnifying on the other, is the way open to the absurd creator. They must give the void its colors.” 
- Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus 

Harry McAlpine is a New Zealand born interdisciplinary artist currently based in Melbourne, and in 2016 graduated with a BFA from Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design.
