Alice Fennessy
Alice Fennessy’s work employs her personal dreams as subject matter, allowing her to re-imagine banal aspects of every day life through painting.
Her work consists of oil paintings on denim and velvet; textiles that are stooped in the traditions of bogan fantasy art. The work aims to mine these suburban appropriations of dream art, as seen in countless album covers, on panel vans and in cheap op shop reproductions, as these references relate to her personal experiences and background.
Her work aims to explore the place where the banal meets the fantastical, representing the symbolic icons of dreams.
