Reflections and commentaries on these women’s origins and environs influence this body of work; from chinese calligraphy, to architectural discourse and commercial construction zones. With an homage to black, each artist demonstrates a finely tuned craft for manipulating metals and accompanying materials. Play and elegance exist in parallel with this beautiful and innovative collection of work. “; until 22nd April; “PRO{MERGING}ARTSPACE is located within, but independent to, Antipodes Bookshop Gallery, 138 Ocean Beach Rd Sorrento”
