Hayley Gillespie’s Revelation is a figurative interpretation of the literal transposition of biblical and European myth and tradition on to the Australian landscape. The story looks at the similarities of belief systems, stories and fables from one side of the world to the other, as well as the indoctrination of some and suppression of others. The work is fashioned in a European illustrative style, with dark elements throughout, as in the Grimm and Anderson vein, as well as the dark side of the Bible.
“My studies for this have been a long interest in Religion and mythology, dating back from my childhood. My first schooling in England was very pagan, then during high school (Church of England), I became involved with the church and took up Religious studies for my final years.”
Now living in Australia for the past fourteen years, Hayley has developed an interest in Aboriginal culture and European / Australian tales from the early settlers and the similarities and effect they have on each other.

Please join us at Cell Art Space, 109 Lake St (Ergon Energy building window front) at 5.30pm sharp to officially launch Revelation. From 6pm - 8.30pm meet the artist and enjoy food and drinks at Twelve Bar Café, Cnr Lake & Shields St.
