The Seventh Mutation, by Brent Parkes AKA Slash AKA Slicey AKA Datura Child AKA

– Spawn of Okato, farmer-boxer-arm wrestler stock

– Further trauma acquired in Wellington

– Exhibition at Koru gallery on Devon St: The Seventh Mutation, by Brent Parkes AKA Slash AKA Slicey AKA Datura Child AKA The insane laughing scarecrow who dances moonstruck at the margins of existence

– First exhibition, revisiting my first comic book, Datura Child, over a decade later

– Over this decade, Datura Child evolved into a comic series, a clothing label, a bizarre art cult/mental health support group, stopping just short of the supernatural

– The Seventh mutation is a return to the source, a reminder of where it all came from

– At Koru gallery for the rest of April

– Good luck with the complexities of life
