Anne Neil - I Shall Close My Eyes 

Anne Neil - I Shall Close My Eyes (detail) View detail
Photographer: Anne Neil

Artist: Anne Neil
Title: I SHALL CLOSE MY EYES
Exhibition: Sekali Lagi, Australian Artists Revisit, Malaysia, Asialink Exhibition at Rimbun Dahan Gallery
Description: Detail of installation set up in the external central courtyard of the gallery space. The installation consisted of eight "black on black" wall paintings/panels with English text in individual squares. In the paving, 365 brushes (each painted white - replacing black squares in the paintings) were repacked in plastic bags and installed standing upright.
Materials: Vinyl canvas, paint, brushes and plastic
Size: Wall paintings - 300 cm x 150 cm, brush size 15 x 18 x 1.5 cm
Date: August 1999
Brief Concept
Description:
The concept for this installation is based on denying of particular aspects of ones self in order to deal with an external force. The eight panels begin as black and white checker board patterns. Each white square is painted over and replaced with a white paint brush in the ground plane. Lines of text dealing with the senses are scratched through this layer of black paint to expose the white beneath.

Brief Concept
Description:
Our aim for this project was to design functional pieces that could be incorporated into the landscape. The use of cast iron recalls architectural detail in the older homes in the area. Our design philosophy was to communicate a sense of protection and nurturing while remaining dignified in context with the function of the building as a working police station.
