Exhibiting at FIVE WALLS in Melbourne

I am very excited to share the news about my next exhibition at Five Walls Gallery in Melbourne. I will be showing photographic images and textile artworks from my new series realized here in Australia entitled ‘The Seven Circuits of a Pearl’.

Exhibition Title: The Seven Circuits of a Pearl
Exhibition Dates: 26 April- 13 May
Opening Night: 28 April 6-9 PM
Venue: Five Walls Gallery:1/119 Hopkins St, Footscray VIC 3011 Melbourne

‘The Seven Circuits of a Pear’l is a journey through the early Australian pearling industry; one of pioneers, explorers, piracy, shipwrecks, cyclones, death, wealth, secrecy and power. Positioning photography as an ontological proposition within the nexus of collage, embroidery and the archive, the work seeks to build a way for dwelling through the landscapes of preserved personal histories, and cultural practices (the seen) but also infiltrate through the concealed sides of the same places (the unseen), and retrace their omissions (what is failed to be seen), by interrogating them whilst framing them visually as a dual form of truth telling and fiction. Maritime disasters, archeological, personal and missing evidence, become the thread between visual and textual material from museum collections, journals, diaries and memoirs researched, and further re-imagined though the mixed-media works produced, aiming at creating an interrelational space amongst the fragments of a larger narrative progressing from an investigative to a more metaphorical and esoteric resolution.
