Karlee Rawkins - Big Rock Candy Mountain

An exhibition of new work by artist Karlee Rawkins opens at Iain Dawson Gallery in Sydney on 24 August. The exhibition 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' is named after a 1920's bluegrass song by Harry McClintock.

Karlee Rawkin's has always been drawn to the fantastic, the utopian and the legendary. The McClintock song is "about a fantasy place with trees full of birds, streams of alcohol and chickens that lay soft boiled eggs, I have always had an interest in invented places and concepts like Arcadia and Eden, and I often refer to them in my work".
 
"I wanted this show to be a bit 'growly' with some of the more nasty or scary animals, the wolves and coyotes!"
