OPENING EVENT: Wednesday 17 August from 6:00pm at ANCA Gallery. Free to attend, no bookings required.

of soap and stone brings together the work of 3 early career artists; Kati Gorgenyi, Fran Romano and Melinda Brouwer. Working across mixed-media sculpture and ceramics, they have created an immersive and reflective experience which engages with notions of remembrance, memorialisation and the ephemerality of life. Kati investigates loss and memory; Fran explores the rituals and ephemera surrounding death, and Melinda’s interest lies in death’s material nature.

The exhibition experience will be enhanced by an interactive public program. On weekends, artists will encourage gallery visitors to engage with the artworks and themes by making clay votives. These offerings will become part of the exhibition, developing into an ephemeral installation which will remain in the gallery courtyard to decompose. The installation will be documented using time-lapse photography by videographer, Caroline Huff.
