This exhibition extends Kelly Austin’s interest in how placement and proximity, harmony and discord can generate numerous propositions and illusions. Various opposing concepts manifest in her beautiful and quiet arrangements – the recognisable and the abstract, solid and translucent, heavy and light.

She says, “This work is quiet, focused, attentive and nuanced. It creates a space for softness, whilst also exploring the materials of this earth and their transformation: the wetness and heaviness of clay and the solidity of rock faces. It is about being in, and of, landscape: pink sand, tanned earth, a wall of brick red and a whisp of white across the sky.”
