Regina Walter, Camoufleur. The work derives from the
historical material of camouflage defence by artists working at Bankstown
airport during WW11. Artists such as Max Dupain and Frank Hinder were among the
Sydney Camouflage Group, led by Zoologist William Dakin. Their experiments
proved to be ingenious methods of disguise, decoy and deception. Adapting Roy
Lichtenstein's illusion house series, this work recreates a disguised airplane
hangar. The work echoes the Camouflage Group's optical trickery, using similar
elements of deception, and is reminiscent of a 1940's style home in black and
white
