Michael Carney’s paintings are a personal exploration of his experience of nature through the lens of technology. For his catalogue essay Dr Belinda Howden described Carney’s “exploration as virtual; defined by a hyperlink chain of digital navigation. Search terms such as ‘dense gothic forest’, ‘Scandinavian trees’, ‘modernist architecture in scary movies’ unfurl as images within images. Rendering scenes of collapsed horizon lines and uncanny grottos, Carney builds an impression of a place familiar yet non-specific, an anywhere.”
Dr Belinda Howden is Guest Editor of Australia’s contemporary Artlink magazine.
