Artists Statement

Issues of identity and belonging are exemplified in Noah’s Ark, where Tate philosophically contemplates human folly and the direction of Australian society. In response to 2020 events, the narrative tale and personal artifacts that influence this work expand on his satirical mythology of spirituality, wonder, death, and decay.
