Somewhere, Nowhere
Jodie Carey
20 May - 19 June
Preview: 19 May 6.30 - 8.30pm, with artist's tour 5.45pm
A solo show of new work by artist Jodie Carey. Somewhere, Nowhere explores concepts that centre on ideas of time, memory and materiality. Evoking the idea of a home and its history in the gallery space, materials such as blood, bone and ash become pigments that stain the floor and mark the walls. The focus is on a transitory, ephemeral and corporeal beauty, evoking notions of time passing, memories fading, absence and loss. FREE ADMISSION For more info
