John Sparagana: What the Child Saw, What the Lover Saw, What the Killer Saw

20 October - 25 November 2006

What the Child Saw, What the Lover Saw, What the Killer Saw features a new body of work made from the actual pages of current fashion and cultural magazines 

John Sparagana’s exhibition What the Child Saw, What the Lover Saw, What the Killer Saw features a new body of work made from the actual pages of current fashion and cultural magazines such as Pop, 10, L’Officiel, Self Service, Another Magazine, and Interview. The laborious nature of the work evident in his previous series of hand-fatigued magazines titled “Sleeping Beauty” is still present, however the images are now meticulously sliced and ingeniously rearranged — stretching into the realm of abstraction. The resulting images are at once confusing and provocative.
