A tapestry of blood and bone, 2025

Solo exhibition at Lone Goat Gallery, Byron Bay

March 29 – April 26, 2025

A tapestry of blood and bone is a story of immanence and interdependence. A multi-species co-creation of elemental consanguinity, of kinship and connection.

Materials animal, vegetal and mineral,

~ bind, weave, dissolve, stain, support, hang, stretch, wobble, sway ~

Each carry with them their own stories of place, infused with the manifold textures, sounds and shapes

that brought them into being.

Spanning myriad temporalities and geographies, the exhibition space is non-linear,

but multi-nodal and rhizomatic in nature.

Awake, alive, aware, it’s materials are not static but ever-evolving.

Nor are they are they separate from you or I.

They are kin, existing within and without, simultaneously, inextricably.

They are the marrow in our bones and the life-giving nutrients in our blood.

They are here, reaching out, proffering our place in amongst the wild and wondrous tapestry of things.
