With this current exhibition, Placing Things, Kelly Austin continues to question the connections between perception and expectation. The grouping of familiar and ambiguous ceramic objects shifts the generalised contemplation invited by still life works into a more forensic exploration of looking. And, as this work also asks, what are the ways in which broader concerns might be signalled through the composition of objects, space and light?

Opening Friday 15 March 2019, 6pm. All welcome.
