DAVID EGAN

David Egan (1989) processes the uncomfortable mysteries of small scale, vernacular pop culture theories and histories into a considered set of beguiling, mysterious objects. His paintings, textiles and sculptures hint at an unnamed energy coursing beneath a known surface, defying attempts at understanding and organisation.

Together with Patrick Miller, David Egan directs and curates the Museum of Natural Mystery, a residentially based ARI in North Perth. He also founded and co-directs independent record label and publishing house Badminton Bandit. He lives and works in Perth, Australia.
