Summary: "Graham Fletcher paints the lounge rooms of affluent western collectors and their elaborate display of ornaments and furniture. His work brings the place and positioning of indigenous objects in these spaces into prominence. Fletcher foregrounds the complexity involved in collecting objects from other cultures; wooden masks, spiritual icons, small statues and wall hangings, these objects function as uneasy elements of interior design."--Publisher description.
