delphic presented selected works from North Queensland based artist Danish Quapoor's good grief series, alongside complementary new works. These included illustrative biomorphic paintings on shaped, stretched paper, and an abstract animation. The exhibited fluid forms illuminated the artist’s interrogation of shifting personal identity, familial relationships and grievances, and otherness within heteronormative regional contexts. These themes were layered with ambiguity, humour and misdirection. The works were also unified by their style, ostensible simplicity and sparse compositions.
