Deej Fabyc Deej Fabyc works in live art,video, sculpture/installation, painting and photography. Ongoing concerns in her work are community, autobiographical narrative, sexuality, addiction, motherhood and death. Fabyc's work at TRACE is an ongoing project titled "And She Watched"; "she" being the artists dead mother. This performative event encompasses journeys through space and architecture, songs, pseudo-forensics, biographical details and dialogue with audiences. Deej Fabyc briefly calls upon the image of the vagina dentate to describe the scopic tension at work in her performances and installations. Indeed, voyeurism and vengeance coalesce in a biting diaristic seduction that snaps back at heterosexual norms. Scanning for signs of threat, Fabyc identifies, absorbs, and reconstitutes consensual desire as schizophrenic flux. From Sydney and now based in London Deej curates work at Elastic in London and teaches at Newport School of Art in South Wales. She has presented work in exhbitions and performance at major galleries in Australia amd Europe. She has recently been selected for the prestigious Helen Lempriere National Sculpture prize in Australia. |
