Franc Hancock – Sydney World Pride
MEET THE ARTIST TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY AT 6PM
FLOOR TALK SATURDAY 18 FEB 3-5PM
My large scale Ink Works on Paper are created outdoors on the ground and utilise wind and water in their creation. I use Sumi Ink which is an ancient Asian medium made from lamp soot. The paper is immersed in water and areas are lifted free to apply the ink. The images created partially mirror the ground beneath so the works become a documentation of place as well as time. The works are created from multiple layers of ink and there can be up to fifty layers of ink in areas. Despite the highly decorative surface I produce I am a minimalist choosing to remove my ‘hand’ from the creation. I do not directly touch the paper relying on wind to deposit the ink. Sumi Ink has inherent abilities and each work aims to display the dynamics of the ink rather than my hand.
Until my 50’s I worked in horticulture and landscaping. Health issues lead me to a career change and I went through the TAFE system to achieve my Fine Arts Diploma in 2009. Since then I have exhibited in the Regional Gallery circuit in NSW.

Art Show
You Are Invited to Attend the Court of Ancient Gods and Goddesses
Come to court and behold a pantheon of ancient deities from across time, space and cultures. Witness the images of past gods and goddesses, such as Dagon Fish Man God from ancient Mesopotamia to the Greek God Atlas, re-imagined in modern glitter and glow in the dark pigment. Stand before each glittering God and Goddess in light and darkness and wonder at the sparkle and glow. Each painting is inspired by global ancient cultures and some that are honoured still today. Each piece glitters with rhinestones presented on canvas with gifts of gold plastic coins at their feet. Behold each idol that glitters and glows in an immortal medium of remembering.
About the Artist
Layla has been working as a multi medium and immersive installation artist for decades and has honed the technique of working in glitter, and glow in the dark pigment. Combined with a strong interest in ancient history, multi denominational spiritual practices and a childlike curiosity of modern shiny mediums a new theme grew. Taking inspiration from the ancient artefacts of long-gone deities a process of re-remembering emerges but with a modern powerfully shiny twist.
