Fred Parslow
Archibald Prize Entry Unplaced
Fred is a stage actor, his craft steeped in the mysterious art of weaving the identity of a character. He wears his face like a jigsaw puzzle of pieces from countless scripts and life experiences. His truth is concealed. He is a silent witness removed and observant, looking for additions to his repertoire. Close inspection of the work reveals a cardboard cutout style with tabs and guides at the edges, separate pieces blended together, a reflection of the man in his role.
