This year TRAILS finalists included artists from across Australia. The works reflected a range of media, techniques and experience, providing viewers with a broad spectrum from which to cast their People's Choice vote. TRAILS included large scale works in the main exhibition and small scale works in a miniatures exhibition.
Inspired by the opposing movements of embodiment and release present during breathwork meditation. Fibres of merino and corridale fuse together to create form through connection, surrounding a window of black silk gauze. A felted sphere levitates and is held in tension to the body of the work by thin threads. The forms invoke the synergy of our breath - inhale/exhale, expansion/contraction, constance/flux, containment/release.
Exhibited at Julia Street Creative Space, 2023
Held on the lands of the Gunditjmara people, we wish to acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
