Katie Eraser and Emma Lipscombe - Tough Luck: 15 - 25th November
Opening Thursday 15th of November
Tough Luck is the latest exhibition from two contemporary artists, Melbourne based Katie Eraser and Perth based Emma Lipscombe. Consisting of a series of all new paintings, plus a collection of striking textiles created in partnership by the pair. This exhibition is an exploration of communication that crosses state lines, synergy and energy formed between distant creative forces and the confluence of work making when produced in collaboration, from afar. The connection needed to create a new show between two artists with 3400kms separating them, could be construed as ‘tough’ but the emphasis here instead focuses on the strength to withstand these adverse conditions. Here the artists find inspiration in the difficulty and rest heavy on the ‘luck’ inherent in the situation, which propels them to rally in the confidence that the partnership will ultimately be triumphant in bringing about great things.
