Ted O’Donnell + Vicki Lee: Asphyxiate
The Sydney-based duo examine their ongoing obsession with the rhythm of nature.
Overview
"Porphyria worshipped me; surprise
Made my heart swell, and still it grew
While I debated what to do."
Porphyria's Lover by Robert Browning "tells the story of an obsessed lover and an escalation of desire that ends in passionate tragedy", according to Sydney-based artists Ted O'Donnell and Vicki Lee.

Opening on November 19 Comber Street Gallery, the show has a short run until November 23. Looking to buy? Works will be priced from $1000 to $2000/pc with editions of 10 and 20.
