Opening event Friday January 17 6-8pm
Open 11- 5pm Friday - Sunday 17 Jan-3 Feb 2020
Kirsten Drewes and
Elizabeth Rankin collaborate in the exhibition Disorderly Bodies to explore bodily forms with empathy and
irony.
Rankin’s paintings
reverse the hierarchical male gaze. The use of domestic fabrics
in the paintings refers to traditional female materials of the home
which ought to be a place of sanctuary but can be a site of violence. Drewes’ soft sculptures are disturbing in their forms evoking humour, dismay and sympathy for her creatures. These disorderly bodies do
not conform to social expectations.
