28 October – 12 November 2017
Opening
Friday 27 October 6-8pm
The
exhibition Hidden reveals secrets, both the familiar and unfamiliar; the return
of the half remembered into the present.
It
negotiates with the ambiguity of perception and presents experience as haunted,
curious and ironic. Kirsten Drewes and Elizabeth Rankin present works which
explore disturbing worlds. Kirsten’s soft sculptures describe abject bodily
forms with humour. Elizabeth’s darkly romantic paintings, drawings and
animations narrate stories of Australian noir. This is an integrated
exhibition. It engages the space by hanging small and large drawings in space
as collage and projecting animations onto a surface. There are soft sculptures
crouching on the floor and suspended from the ceiling. The intention is for a
dialogue between the works of each artist within the space that will extend the
perceptions of the viewer. This collaboration between the artists enriches the
experience of the exhibition as one of varied visual forms that create new
conversations about the vulnerability of being human.
