Motion Sickness

Formed by Denise Kehoe, Eleanor Breeze and Arabella Hilfiker, Motion Sickness is a collaborative examination of their position as products of millennial ephemera. Motion sickness, by definition, is caused by a disparity between perceptual movement and sense of movement. This disorientation is mirrored by Kehoe, Breeze and Hilfiker’s status in life in contrast to where society dictates they should be. Thus, the collective aim to explore and satirise society’s view of ‘millennialhood’. As well as making work together, the collective also founded Motion Sickness Project Space.

ABOUT

Eleanor Breeze’s work explores iconography, and how objects or images are associated with certain ideas, depending on the context in which they are placed. She works with an alphabet of visual references drawn from family photos, cultural and historical references, and societal rituals, populating her paintings with disappearing brides, girl scouts, tanned children attending their first communion, celebration cakes and her mother’s hostile childhood dog.The translucent, film-like application of sculptural objects over the top of scenes sourced from photographs explore the relationship between painting, photography and sculpture. Topiaries, pet dogs and food borrowed from Breeze’s family albums allude to second meanings, referencing slang terms for women and disrupting a simple reading of the image. The scenes hint at a narrative but ultimately remain ambiguous.
