Natural Digression

8 March - 8 April
Opened by Rosalyn Diprose, Professor of Philosophy, University of NSW

Natural Digression brought together seven cross-disciplinary artists whose work connects through a shared curiosity of how visual narratives are created to describe the moment of passing between fact and fiction. Influenced by literature, history, philosophy and science, these artists combine high and low technologies across mediums; needlepoint, video, animation, paint, hot glue and collage constructions. While it's easy to discern their collective fascination with observation, metaphor and transposition, each artist digresses, taking the viewer on detours and transformations before the truth of the matter can be established.
