Carolyn V Watson: modifiedwonder

May 6, 2018July 15, 2024 Carrie McCarthy

she’s learning the spaces she leaves have their own things to say and she’s trying to sing just enough so that the air around her moves and make music like mercy that gives what it is and has nothing to … Continue reading Carolyn V Watson: modifiedwonder

Belem Lett at Sydney Contemporary

September 1, 2017July 15, 2024 Carrie McCarthy

At first glance, Belem Lett’s paintings appear like highly sophisticated versions of Rorschach ink blots.

Clara Adolphs’s Creatures

August 4, 2017July 15, 2024 Carrie McCarthy

Perhaps I’ve been watching too much The Handmaid’s Tale (NB: I have DEFINITELY been watching too much The Handmaid’s Tale), but the blokes who appear in Clara Adolphs’s Creatures get more sinister with every viewing. It’s something to do with … Continue reading Clara Adolphs’s Creatures

Gabrielle Jones at Gallery Grefti, Italy

June 12, 2017July 15, 2024 Carrie McCarthy

Blue Mountains-based artist Gabrielle Jones is currently enjoying two things I’m envious of: an Italian summer, and the very warm reception of her work at a solo exhibition at Gallery Grefti, in the Italian town of Umbertide.

Paul Ryan’s Forgotten Histories

January 13, 2017July 15, 2024 Carrie McCarthy

When Paul Ryan paints the landscape, it’s not the scenery so much as the forgotten histories of his local area that he seeks to explore. Never straying far from his home base in Thirroul, a suburb of Wollongong noted for … Continue reading Paul Ryan’s Forgotten Histories
