From Where
I Stand
'Perspective,' currently exhibiting at this years 60th Venice Biennale of Art in Green's 'From Where I Stand,' is crafted with paint and mixed media, delves into the themes of identity and influence from a unique perspective. Drawing inspiration from korowai, traditional Maori cloaks, this work symbolises prestige, leadership, and responsibility. Green employs three distinct scenes under varying light to explore these facets, inviting views to reflect on how identity shapes and is shaped by our environment. This multi-perspective approach offers a nuanced view of identity, emphasising its complexity and multifaceted nature.

“Safe Yourself” is an exhibition exploring identity and the tension between self-perception and external perception. It ties into the Biennale’s theme, “Foreigners Everywhere,” with a focus on the foreigner within—the parts of ourselves that feel unfamiliar, particularly the discrepancy between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us. Green’s contribution to this theme is expressed through two major works: one abstract and one figurative. These paintings represent a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious self. The abstract piece delves into the complexities of internal, often subconscious identity, while the figurative painting offer a more outward-facing, literal interpretation of self, representing how we project ourselves to the world. Together, these works create a compelling narrative about the multifaceted nature of identity and self-representation.

My Space (first scene)
"My Space," stands as one of Green's most profound triple scene paintings, conceived as a form of art therapy to navigate the enduring phycholgical and emotional abuse she faced. In this evocative work, Green depicts herself as an astronaut, isolated and protectively positioned atop her own world. Enveloped by the illumination of her stars, she contemplates the stark choices of fight or flight. The painting poignantly captures her deep-seated fear of the repercussions of both compliance and defiance. In a gesture of temporary surrender, she unfurls a white flag inscribed with the plea, " I just need Space." Surrounding this flag 12 Zodiac signs emerge from the third scene, guiding her towards various typographies where she seeks refuge and solace.
