In Sally Bourke‘s exhibition Silence is just a sound, abstracted portraits serve as portals to the depths of memory.

With a deft hand and keen introspection, Bourke captures the essence of silence—not as absence, but as a profound presence. Through her evocative paintings, she invites the viewer into a realm where silence reverberates with the echoes of the past, offering a nuanced reflection on the complexities of human experience.

Opening Event: Thursday 18 April, 6 – 8pm.
