Join us for the opening of our first exhibition of 2025 'Gravity Portal', an installation of new work by Sara MaherThrough large ink on paper works, photographs, sculptural elements, time-based lighting and sound, Sara aims to open a zone of subtlety, wherein the material and the immaterial world waver and we will feel like our body is losing gravity.
'Gravity Portal' by Sara Maher
Opening: 5.30 pm, Friday 31 January 2025
Exhibition: 1 February – 8 March 2025
Curated by Kylie Johnson
“Through a studio-based process — of wetting, ink-pooling and staining, and sun-fading large sheets of paper — I am creating surfaces that seemingly defy their materiality as if held in a mysterious levitation. A faint glow spills from these surfaces, redolent of the translucency of a rose, or an atmospheric skyscape. It is as if the works are repositories for an emotional frequency that isn’t stable or fixed, relating to memory. Here, a sense of being hovers in the balance, between past-present and future, between continuity and unsettlement.” Sara Maher, catalogue excerpt from ‘Process’, a conversation between Sara Maher and Kylie Johnson.
Gravity Portal was assisted through Arts Tasmania
