To Jan 23, 2023 Still Watching by Anna Louise Richardson and Abdul-Rahman Abdullah embodies different experiences and perceptions of mutual observation in the natural world. Embracing both the magical thinking of childhood and the pragmatism of raising a young family in a rural environment, Richardson and Abdullah articulate a personal lore, voicing their relationships with other creatures and the mythic qualities of the worlds we occupy. Also, Backtrack by Aotearoa-born artist, educator, and remote community arts worker Katie Breckon explores expanded drawing and mark making practices through the lens of mapping personal and physical geographies.
Also, by – a happy magpie dancing in a sprinkler, a ghost asking politely to be let in, finding a fortune in are two sides of the same coin, the choice and consequence, the path followed and the road less travelled and the use of an object and all the uses not yet imagined. Exploring the absurdity of life, and the magic in the everyday, presents a new body of work that extends an open invitation to interact, engage and play. Also, – this newly commissioned exhibition featuring animation, painting, and sculpture by Walyalup-based artist explores sacrifice and reward, and notions of the unexpected, creating a world for the Hongels and their creator, Vord. As visitors to this world, we bear witness to rituals and ceremony never seen before, but we are also asked the same questions as the Hongels, what would we be willing to sacrifice to have a wish answered?
