CASA/HOUSE: at the Edge of the Blue Mountains
Exhibition at GANG GANG Gallery, Lithgow
CASA / HOUSE: at the Edge of the Blue Mountains is an intimate collection of abstract paintings, sculptures, and ceramic pieces that explore memory, interiority, and the quiet emotional landscapes we carry within us. Rooted in the idea of casa/house as both a physical and psychological space, the exhibition traces how homes are built not only from architecture, but from sensations, colours, and fragments of personal history.
Soft, gestural mark-making and layered abstraction form the foundation of the paintings, while several works feature delicate pastel-drawn vessels, emerging intuitively like meditative echoes of ancient amphoras or remembered domestic objects. Alongside the canvases, a selection of hand-built ceramics and sculptural forms introduces a grounded, tactile presence, moving fluidly between utility and sculpture, reflecting the quiet rituals of care, touch, and making that define a lived interior world.
Presented at GANG GANG Gallery, perched where the industrial history of Lithgow meets the vast expanse of the Blue Mountains, the exhibition creates a dialogue between inner and outer worlds. The rugged terrain of Lithgow, with its shifting light and deep valleys, resonates with the interior landscapes evoked in the work, forming an atmospheric counterpoint to the abstracted home. Together, the paintings and ceramics inhabit a space that is tender, poetic, and alive with memory, an invitation to pause, to feel, and to dwell within both the imagined and the real.
CASA / HOUSE at the Edge of the Blue Mountains becomes a contemplative dwelling: a house made of gesture, colour, and memory, open for viewers to inhabit, interpret, and feel.
CASA/HOUSE
CASA / HOUSE:: Interior of Abstract Memories is an immersive body of abstract work that invites the viewer into a space of memory, emotion, and interiority. Rooted in the idea of home as both a physical and psychological sanctuary, the exhibition unfolds like a domestic dream — soft, unstable, and deeply personal. Read more
