FRONT GALLERY

DAWN RITUAL
by Ben Lopez

CATALOGUE

Dawn Ritual is an exploration of a world steeped in animism. Set amongst the remnants of a forgotten epoch; these paintings tell stories of secret rituals, dream realms and trance states. The happenings in a place beyond our perception, where all is alive and is embodied with spirit.

BACK GALLERY

THE HAND BECOMES THE NEEDLE
by Christina Darras & Rebecca Diele

CATALOGUE

Christina Darras and Rebecca Diele present a cohabitation of works titled The Hand Becomes the Needle. Darras and Diele explore tactile experiences with threads and needles to inform their art practice. Their art is expressed through embroidery and a long-dedicated process, where a sharp metal tool repeatedly marks the paper or the canvas’s surface to map the geography of the mind.

This is a Craft Contemporary satellite project.

SIDE GALLERY

LAND OF THE LOST SWEETS
by Julia Catania

CATALOGUE

Welcome to the lolly shop that only exists in the back of your mind, full of the discontinued and otherwise forgotten desserts from your distant memories.
In her debut solo exhibition, Julia Catania uses hand-embroidery and soft sculpture to explore the relationship between nostalgia and food.  Her brightly coloured and playful take on everyday objects builds a whimsical world in which childhood memories come back to life…and Sunnyboys were never discontinued.

UPSTAIRS GALLERY

BEING IN WAITING
by Jana Papantoniou & Cat Lawrance

CATALOGUE

Being in Waiting is to exist in a process with the knowledge of no perceivable end.
Jana and Cat insert themselves into this linear space to force a climax that precursors an infinite continuation. This creates a pause in waiting that is not leisurely but rather invigorated with an urgency of fleeting time. Cat considers the permanence of home through waiting, while Jana came to know waiting by scrutinizing her slowed visual processing as a legally blind artist.
