Live Streamed from the Gallery at 6pm

 

GALLERY 1  ::  Tessellated Memory  |   Jodi Woodward

Woodard investigates expanded drawing, endurance and the repetitive process of mark making. Exposing the residual marks of unwitnessed labour, her work explores art making as lived experience, considering the bodily endurance of the maker infused with the performative mark. She questions whether conditions of physical and emotional endurance, perseverance and persistence embedded within the creative process of making are acknowledged.

 

GALLERY 2  ::  Occupy | Heather Matthew and Samantha Tannous

A combined love of paper and textiles forms a new desert narrative. Exploring what it means to reside in a place for generations, to build stories of occupancy wrought by time and the elements. Layering man-made artefacts and clay infused papers, Matthew and Tannous speak to broader issues of human occupation and colonisation.Together they explore traces of past and present occupations of landscape.
