A joint exhibition by mother and son duo, Sue Pegrume and NAMU Jade Ackerman.
Sue Pegrume (BFA)
These large oil pastel and ink drawings represent leaving behind 40 years as an educator and a return to my primary passion, being an artist. The work reflects the duality of physical observations within the confines of my garden whilst looking beyond the fence. It is also a mother and son on a creative journey to heal. Jade and I spent many hours in the confines of our family property creating together, and reconnecting. We are both continually on the journey of “Who am I?”
Namu (Jade Ackerman)
I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and these works in multiple mediums are the silver lining to the struggles I have had with manic episodes over the past few years. I painted portraits of people whose support and company I was grateful for. I was inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat’s bold use of colour and quick application, as well as Mondrian's sharp lines and compartments of colour. This has resulted in a pop art style focused on contrast, duality, light and dark. I am moving forward in my journey of “Who am I?”
