‘thoughts are metallic they melt in salt water’, Tom Blake

Drawing its title from a line by Etel Adnan, ‘thoughts are metallic they melt in saltwater’ approaches the gallery as a coastal stream – specifically a spinning eddy – where the water pauses for a moment before combining with the sea. The exhibition comprises a series of new cyanotypes, wire drawings, looping videos and de-silvered mirrors, each containing an array of recurring elements which together become the silt – fragments suspended within a stream – spinning, falling, rising, dissolving.

Part of the Perth Festival 2024. Exhibition continues 17 February – 7 April 2024.

‍‘The Longest Echo’, Mayma Awaida & Emilie Monty

‘The Longest Echo’ is an iterative work which first took shape as an artist residency at the Commonwealth of New Bayswater Post Office as a publicly accessible exchange that traded tattoos (designed and made by Awaida) for voice-note offerings (collected and edited by Monty).

As their residency unfolded, likewise did the journey of the artwork: designs inspired by the artist’s own ceramic practice were translated into visual scratchings on the participant, who in turn left a sensory marking of their own as a voice recording, born anew as anonymous USB letters in the hands of the recipient.

In its exhibition format, ‘The Longest Echo’ returns to its material origins of ceramics and audio recordings and posits the gallery space as an imaginary world; a place where each of the voice offerings can find a home and sustain their fantastical potential.

Exhibition continues 17 February – 7 April 2024.
