Fion Gunn, Age of Exploration, #1, Fion Gunn 2017 273x273cm, acrylic/canvas/collage 探索时代1号，2017年 275×275厘米帆布，丙烯酸漆，拼贴画，银叶 Childhood fascination with tales of exploration, of adventure (and often exploitation) – the accounts of Marco Polo, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Dafoe’s Robinson Crusoe, thread through the work . Gunn remains intrigued by the choices made by the heroes/ villains as well as the complex investigations of human morality and ethics made by Joseph Conrad in Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness. As a woman who was once a girl, she seeks to reveal the female dimension in this ‘boy’s own’ world.
