Penny Byrne: Leaking like a SIEV 2008.
Vintage wooden model boat, vintage ceramic and porcelain figurines, plastic police
Public Lecture
Penny Byrne meticulously constructs manipulated figurines from
damaged and antiquidated ceramic objects into artworks that fiercely
wield a political message. The use of fragile ceramics contradicts the
political issues evident in her work. Byrne’s satirical viewpoint
confronts a number of contemporary political issues that presents an
ongoing inquiry into popular culture and international politics.
