A Certain Slant of Light

Brendan van Hek

12 February - 5 April 2009
Westend Gallery

Is truth eternal or is it just a product of its circumstance and a moment in time? Nationally recognised WA artist Brendan van Hek brings great American poet Emily Dickinson together with inventor of the lie detector (polygraph) William Moulton Marstan and his comic-book character Wonder Woman in a major new installation. A Certain Slant of Light is a meditation on the complexities and instability of 'truth'. Consisting of a constellation of neon light works where the innate nature of the materials - gas and light - evoke senses of intangibility, impermanence and transformation, A Certain Slant of Light touches upon the uniqueness of every individual's experience of the world.

Opening: Wed 11 February, 6pm
