Sanné Mestrom, ‘The Weeping Rock’ (details), 2024, Bronze sculpture with irrigation system, 107 x 109 x 100 H. Edition of 3 plus 2 artist’s proofs. Photography by Phillip Huynh.

Mestrom’s sculptural works investigate the politics of the body and the elusive nature of ‘value’ in artworld ecologies, particularly the way such values are gained and lost over time. Her art practice makes particular reference to the female form as a catalyst for exploring the ways in which art history and culture continue to specify values, which in reality are fluid and always evolving.

Three years in development, this significant new exhibition speaks to what it means to embody and embrace a duality: to hold yourself with both strength and sensitivity, with fragility and fire.
