Opening view of the exhibition, where an antechamber as you enter the gallery leads into a wider room with three 4by4 metre quilts hang suspended from the walls and roof beams. The antechamber contains a small, wall-mounted monitor on which a looping video plays. The video is an oval vignette of the artist sitting in Bendora arboretum, with freshly dyed leopard-print hair. Over the video scrolling text written by artist Bryan Foong explores themes of water and resistance. On the right side of the image is a punching bag covered in quilted material, suspended from the roof.
three quilts sit in the ANCA Gallery space, a trapezoidal gallery with grey concrete floors and white walls. the image positions the quilts at either ends of the picture, framing two windows which look out onto the ANCA courtyard (an enclosed garden-like space bordered by studios)
reverse view of the ANCA gallery, prominently featuring the sky quilt installed just lifting off the ground. the other two quilts are in the background, and you can see two movable walls delineating the antechamber from the main space.
off-square image of the golden quilt, showing how it drapes in the space coming off the walls. about four fifths of the quilt is suspended and the bottom section is draping on the floor.
