Sanctuary
Group exhibition
Sutton Village Gallery, Canberra
June 1st - July 21st 2024
This exhibition is a visual exploration aiming to showcase the diverse range of perspectives on the concept of 'sanctuary' portrayed through the handcrafted photograph. By utilising time-honoured, printing techniques, the artists' pay homage to the roots of photography and the craftsmanship involved in creating each image. The labour-intensive nature of these traditional processes result in exquisitely detailed and richly textured prints, prompting viewers to slow down, get up close and appreciate the artistry and skill involved in each ideation. Through the solace of nature or moments that invite tranquility, the visual narrative throughout will transport viewers to 'spaces' that provide comfort, inviting them to reflect on their own understanding of 'sanctuary' and the ways in which it can manifest in their own lives.
