Behind the Up and Over – by Perry Westwood, is a retrospective spanning ten years of work produced in a small up and over garage workshop in Waverley, Sydney. The exhibition offers an insight into the evolution of Perry’s practice, bringing together a body of previously unseen sculpture, photomontage, entomology, and kinetic forms. Across these works, human, plant, animal, and fungal elements are fused into hybrid forms that resist easy classification. Perry’s work operates in a charged space between whimsy and threat. This tension invites viewers to linger in a space of discomfort, where attraction and repulsion are held in delicate balance.
