Meu Homer, Meu Amor<br />

CATHERINE GOMERSALL<br />

Meu Homer, Meu Amor is a solo exhibition by<br />

Catherine Gomersall drawing on social media<br />

interaction and the love she has for her once stray<br />

cat, Homer (named after the ancient Greek poet,<br />

not Homer Simpson). Coming into Gomersall’s life<br />

in April of <strong>2018</strong>, Homer is now an integral part of her<br />

life and has become a regular feature on Gomersallís<br />

social media networks.<br />

Similar to her previous social media projects,<br />

Meu Homer, Meu Amor plays with the online<br />

conversations with Gomersall’s Facebook ‘friends’<br />

and ‘followers’ on images of both Homer and herself<br />

that are uploaded on her Facebook page.<br />

These conversations are screenshot and then appear<br />

alongside the partnering photo commenting on the<br />

internet culture and its place within today’s society.<br />

More of Gomersall’s iconic work can be found on her<br />

website and her social media pages.<br />

HEIDI WOOD<br />

Paris-based Australian artist Heidi Wood’s<br />

immersive work will explore her ongoing curiosity<br />

about tourism and the unpopularity of tourist<br />

zones particularly within the ex-Soviet bloc.<br />

Creating her own promotional environment<br />

utilising a repertoire of commercial pictograms,<br />

mementos and symbols, Wood deliberately<br />

questions the very position of culture, the<br />

messages it can provide and the people it aims<br />

to target.<br />

Heidi Wood gained a Bachelor of Arts in<br />

printmaking at Victoria College, Prahran,<br />

Melbourne and went on to study at Ecole<br />

Nationale SupÈrieure des Beaux-arts, Paris,<br />

DNSAP, atelier Claude Viallat. She lives in Paris<br />

and works in Montreuil. http://heidiwood.net<br />
