HEIDI YARDLEY- MEETING THE SHADOW

Heidi Yardley will present her debut exhibition Meeting the Shadow at the Arthouse Gallery. This exhibition has been inspired through printed material from the 60’s and 70’s, embedded with monochromatic tones and various textures. Her oil paintings and charcoal drawings are a personal interpretation of faded memory, reinvention and supernatural inference.

The exhibition title is a reference to Carl Jung’s psychoanalytic exploration of the ‘shadow self’ as the darker side of the human mind. This presentation of Yardley’s work is an intricate look into her interpretation of the ‘shadow self’ and the psychology behind it.

Graduating from Monash University in 1995 with a fine art degree, she has been a finalist for many revered prizes such as Archibald Prize, The Doug Moran National Portrait Prize and the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship.

For those who are a fan of contemporary art or want to know a little bit more, this show is a great start for you. (AMal)
