There are No Straight Lines brings the work of Emma Bugg, Alicia King, Eloise Kirk, Amber Koroluk-Stephenson, Sara Morawetz, Cassie Sullivan, and Jodie Whalen together to reconsider constructed notions of time as being linear, instead looking towards notions of circular time that is considered to be repetitive, familiar, and continuous. Presented through a cross section of painting, weaving, collage, sculpture, drawing, video and experimental jewellery, this exhibition is a mediation of what it means to think about the contrasting affects between deep time and the present moment.
In a complex web of the infinite, time is marked by repetition. The sun rises and sets, seasons change, planets and solar systems orbit, and living things go through the biological cycle of birth, life, death. The cyclic nature of time space blurs boundaries between memory and systems of knowledge, between fact and fiction, being and not being, between self and other, the here and now, the now and then. In this setting, time and space are experienced and understood in multiple ways, paving out a rich tapestry for capturing the minuet and monumental, the everyday and the sublime.
