Polixeni Papapetrou: The Ghillies
Dan Rule, The Age, Melbourne, April 6 2013, p 5
There's a quietness and subtlety to Polixeni Papapetrou's latest series of photographs – a softening of the more theatrical employment of costume and symbology that has come to mark her negotiations of childhood, fantasy and art history. Where she has long juxtaposed her hybridised characters – often half-animal, half-human – against picturesque landscapes, The Ghillies are of a different ilk and a different land.
