Airing Dirty Laundry
Wednesday 24 July - Sunday 11th August 2024
Rockingham Art Centre. Rockingham, WA
A collaborative exhibition featuring Deborah Worthy-Collins and Leuca Jane Ziemons
This exhibition investigates, explores and expresses the often unnoticed everyday moments from the individual perspective of both artists. This noticing, recording and re-presenting of these moments in uniquely personal ways, not only acknowledges the happening itself but also reflects upon the often deeply individual pursuit for emotional regulation through gentle acts of tactility. Everyday experiences of life permeates the exhibition space. The tea stained cloth, the garden weeds, the swathes of cloth, the sound of a dining room clock - these interactions and engagements with daily life form significant investigations for both artists.
In the context of this exhibition the artists explore what it means to air their own dirty laundry and through their individual meditative practices they have collectively created a space for the audience to question the poignancy of where, how, when and why, we share.
