GREG FERRY

Greg Ferrys Harvey artworks are cued from the confused fog of history. Harvey the enormous huntaway dog is a time traveller with his burgers being an allegory of dog capital explores the soup of art fashion within the context of fallen empires once controlled by religious orders.

In Harveys Abbey of the good boy,  those that seek enlightenment through worship are welcomed with open paws and slobber within the caveat of his rules based order. capital controls, social order and subservience are the undercurrent  in all its forms marks  the historic pillars of society. The stuff that all empires rise and fall upon.

This fabricated history is similar to the dust left from an erased blackboard of real history. It is there, but so often jumbled and speculated and recontextualised by future empires as to not make full sense.

Yet there is always something admirable of failed empires the cultural stuff left behind is mysterious, wondrous and uplifting to look at.
