Angel at my Table, Melbourne Art Fair, 2024
“The Angel at My Table… Imagine flying over the surface of this exhibition. Angels would find
their olfactory senses infused by the perfume of frankincense. They would see paintings, life-
size effigies based on Las Calaveras Catrinas, candleholders made from shells, and orange
flowers (marigolds). Jacqui Stockdale’s mis-en-scène recalls the annual festival, Dia de
Muertos, from Mexico that honours the dead and celebrates the inevitability of death
as life’s ever-present companion.”
-Jan Bryant, 2004
