Sculptures by the exhibiting artists. Courtesy: the artists and Anthea Polson Art, Main Beach.

The most obvious property of a sculpture is its solidity and occupation of real space. Just as in the very earliest shamanistic precursors, sculptures not only describe the shape of things observed but also intuited. The forms may emanate metaphysical and philosophical dimensions that transcend their physical matter. In this exhibition artists Dean Bowen, Veronica Cay, Erica Gray, Deborah Halpern, Linda Klarfeld, Phillip Piperides, Scott Redford, Avital Sheffer, Carolyn V Watson, and Di West employ a diverse range of processes and media translate personal understandings of The Shape of Things.

Exhibition opens 4–6pm Saturday 19 October 2019
