Toni Wilkinson - Beyond Here Lies Nothing // Sera Waters - Limb by Limb (expired event)

New works by Toni Wilkinson which explore love, exile and our ever-expanding narcissistic libidinal economy and Sera Waters is slowly creating a seven meter long textile-based installation.

Toni Wilkinson is an acclaimed Perth-based photo artist. This exhibition brings together new works which explore love, exile and our ever-expanding narcissistic libidinal economy. The photographs continue Toni Wilkinson’s fascination with photography’s peculiar capacity to reveal the possibilities and slips of Dasein.

We welcome Sera Waters as our special guest for the gallery residency this year. An artist, writer and lecturer based in Adelaide, Sera's work investigates the recurring ghosts of Australian settler colonialism. Her installation in our gallery will evolve over 10 days and she invites other artists and interested individuals to join her in the space to chat, stitch and share with her. Come by the gallery or contact us if you'd like to join in.

Limb by Limb is an evolving textile-based installation by Sera Waters which explores how radical shifts in Australia’s ecology have occurred, hand by hand, limb by limb. Waters will create patterned woolly embroideries on-site which will be slowly added onto a seven metre long longstitched wallpaper. Together, the creations made by stitching, suturing, and re-constructing, suggest alternative historical narratives that embrace the entangled knottiness of shared pasts.

Toni and Sera will talk about their work as part of the Unhallowed Arts program by Symbiotica on Friday 28 September at 12noon at The University of Western Australia.
