Soil Breathes | Sophia Dacy-Cole
Tuesday, 08 April 2025 to Friday, 02 May 2025
Gallery
You are invited to commune with the local soils. These artworks were all made in collaboration with the soils I steward at Wamboin, a short drive from here. Myself and my workshop participants have used scientific tools as tools of soil communion and intimacy.

Gallery
Despite painting’s capacity to present images before our eyes, the medium has always been haunted by absence. The works in The Painted Double address this duality through the formal qualities of mirroring, symmetry, and folding. These paintings invite the viewer to see two things at once—a surface to be looked at and a narrative to be opened. Shanti Shea An’s project attends to this complex sense of twofoldness by interrogating how painted images place us at a threshold between looking and...
