Removing Innocence by Asher Milgate
Asher Milgate's work is an exploration of the tensions and dualities present in our landscapes and histories.
Influenced by a family legacy from migrant to missionary, seamstress, and educators, Milgate's work intertwines personal and historical narratives, delving into the socio-political context of colonial and post-colonial discourses.
He strives to capture the complexity of memory and the layers of meaning embedded in our surroundings."
Listening to Trees by Jan Cleveringa
The “Listening to Trees” series is an exploration of the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world.
Through the lens of sustainability, the series becomes a collaborative visual dialogue, where the environment speaks in mark-making patterns and gestures to us, and later the artist responds by disrupting the conversation and reorganizing these natural forms into a new order.
This process is a metaphor for the human condition, reflecting our impact on the natural world and our attempts to find harmony and order within it. It invites us to engage not just as observers but as participants in a larger conversation recognising our egocentric place in the world. It is a call to action to live more mindfully and sustainably.
