An exhibition drenched in quiet nostalgia and understated poetic moments is showcasing at Darren Knight, Sydney. New York's Marc Hundley has a retrospective which brings together found imagery, words and ephemera from seemingly everyday moments across time.
A handmade banner, t-shirts, lyrics, photos have all been represented in away that resonates with beautiful mystery and personal significance. A photo of Joni Mitchell, a tribute to Morrissey, the ghostly font of type written lyrics.
I generally make things that advertise the way I feel — or celebrate things that I have chosen to have meaning. My work takes the form of posters and t-shirts and incorporates text from books, song lyrics and found images that I collect. These pieces of information may express something that I’d like to share or reveal how I’d like the world to work. In order to anchor the feelings or thoughts first evoked by the texts or images, I often add dates and times as part of my designs. With these I attempt to capture them, for everything is fleeting. - Marc Hundley, October 2010
