Fennel and Crow
Jo Darbyshire
New paintings by Jo Darbyshire depict landscapes close to home, explored on solo meanderings during the quietude of lockdown. The work captures the sense of stillness and the heightened perception of the beauty of nature, as well as touching on the sense of foreboding felt during that time.
21 August—18 September
Changing Patterns
Penny Coss
Like a record or meditation on all the weathers within us, Penny Coss pours colour onto paper—a repetitious process that echoes conversations with her mother about the weather. Like the body’s rhythmic memory, the symbolic logic of the venn diagram-like paintings, of overlapping circles and other shapes, highlights how things are similar and different.
25 September—16 October
Artists in Residence
Nicholas Folland (SA)
Lee Harrop (NT)
Working in the gallery space during the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial, the artists will produce new installations during their Perth residency. Lee Harrop uses stone to create works that are durational, interactive and performative, offering a representation of mining that can be considered alongside the wider global discourse surrounding its environmental impact.
Nicholas Folland celebrates the repurposed and the upcycled, value-adding to the waste and discard of unfashionable past excesses. By collecting on mass and stripping to the bone, he massages practical ornamentation to create wonders unimagined, tugging at our memories, and leading us into worlds of desire.
23 October—20 November
