What they said:

“… but what lingers most in mind was how the exhibition melded itself to the gallery space and the space to the work. It was as if the gallery itself has acquired a living breathing skin, and was experiencing the pain of the world. As for the joy of the world, there were hints of it but they were outside the room shining in. Inside only beauty illuminated. And beauty is not joy, despite the special relationship they share.” - Peter Machen

“Since we live in strange times our history calls for documentation of a genius type. It seems to me as if it would be impossible to really capture these past few decades in any other language but the one which Accumulative Disintegration has appealed to. The times are those of a society purging itself on the monochromatic diet of notions about fairness and equality, while insidiously hating each other for being as varied as the textures of a thousand razor blades and the softness of a snowflake. And, the suggestion is, that it is our responsibility to capture these pieces for future reference.” - Carin Goodwin

“…An accumulative disintegration is precisely what it is, but a more cohesive reflection thereof you will be hard pressed to find. As I leave the articulated and controlled light of the gallery and re-engage the bleached light and reality outside, Streaks show follows me. The disconnected realities of a world fighting with itself over climate control, industrialisation, colonisation and globalisation suddenly sit less comfortably. Accumulative Disintegration is a psycho-minimal snapshot of our times. - Jose Ferreira

“…If Streak was inspired by personal catharsis, it is also the artist’s duty to transform and transcend such confines, and he certainly succeeds. The exhibition is rich with allusions to individual and collective inter-connectedness.” - Fran Saunders
