ELAPSE at
ANCA Gallery in March will feature Ruby Aitchison, Thomas O’Hara and
Cara Johnson. Three artists who connect art with their environment by
utilising unique processes of dehydration, erosion and degradation to
offer an exhibition of sculptures that explore the changing
characteristics of materials over time. Each artist has developed
individual techniques that essentially speed up the effect of time to
balance control and chance in material explorations of form. The result
is an exhibition of small sculptures by each artist that are commanding,
intriguing, and as complex and intricate as nature itself.
