NARRATIVES OF BODY, SELF AND WORLD
8.30.26 - 9.30.26

Everything is still becoming Narratives of Body, Self and World explores the artists’ relationships with the body, identity, culture and history as evolving and transformative forces. What we inherit is continually carried forward, altered and reimagined.

This exhibition brings together five Sydney-based artists whose practices question the narratives and structures through which we understand the body, self and world. Working across painting, ceramics, textiles, installation and mixed media, their works move between personal experience and collective histories, the physical and psychological, the remembered and the imagined. Through these shifting perspectives, familiar forms and narratives are opened to new possibilities.

Central to the exhibition is the artists’ engagement with material and process as ways of exploring their ideas and uncovering new meaning. Materials become carriers of memory, ancestry and lived experience, while acts of fragmenting and assembling reveal how meaning can shift over time. Across many of the works, the personal intersects with the cultural, connecting individual stories to histories and knowledge carried across generations.

The works invite us to reflect on body, self and world as interconnected and continually becoming, shaped and transformed through our experiences, relationships and environments.
