Holding Rain
An exhibition by Brit Harrisson and Nani Gradon
In Holding Rain, artists Brit Harrisson and Nani Gradon open a shared space of quiet intensity, a space that moves through the subtle, often overlooked thresholds between the internal and external, the material and the ephemeral. The exhibition unfolds as a contemplative space where the body, memory and time intersect creating forms that resist immobility. Through sculpture, installation and the sensitive use of materials, they engage in a tactile poetics of containment and dissolution.
Brit Harrisson is a Brooklyn-based artist and curator whose practice reflects on the symbolic and transformative power of water, investigating its dual attributes as a creative and dissolving force. In Holding Rain, the artist deepens this investigation through sculptural forms that remain suspended between preservation and decay, where time seems to stretch and slip away.
Nani Gradon is an australian artist whose practice explores colonial histories and architectures of impermanence. Through mixed media installations, she draws on everyday materials and urban landscapes, creating fragile and suspended structures that evoke both historical displacement and contemporary circulation. Her works suggest shelters or clouds, spaces in which fragility and quiet defiance coexist.
Together, the two artists construct an immersive environment where nature and sensations merge. Delicate shapes, changing materials and atmospheric textures shape a suspended world in which inner landscapes mirror weather states.
