23 August – 3 September
Mon–Sun 11am–5pm

Opening: Tue 29 August, 6–9pm
Artist/s: Ruby Aitchison & Nell Grant

By focusing and manipulating light and shadows to act as illuminators of space, objects and their surfaces, this exhibition experiments with ways that things pass in and out of light. Directing light to skim over and accentuate surface details, refocusing the viewing and developing the experience of light, shadow and objects. Here the light is considered as an object in itself and choreographed specifically in the room to interact with and ‘wear’.

About the Artist

Ruby Aitchison lives in Melbourne, Australia, and has completed her Masters of Fine Art at RMIT University. Ruby is interested in organic activity when juxtaposed with metal, and her process-based practice initiates a dialogue between materials to develop objects as a description of their making. Her work has been exhibited locally, interstate, and internationally, participating in the Marzee International Graduate Show 2012, Netherlands, and Talente 2013, Munich. She received the Future Leaders award at Fresh! 2014, was a selected finalist for the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize 2015, and more recently awarded the 2016 Diana Morgan Postgraduate Award at RMIT University. 

A recent graduate of Fine Art BA at RMIT, Melbourne-based artist Nell Grant works primarily within an object based practise. A recipient of the 2015 Koodak Award for Enamelling Technical Excellence, Nell brings traditional gold and silversmithing techniques into a contemporary dialogue. Through an exploration of form and surface Nell creates wearable and non-wearable works reflecting minimalist notions of seriality and repetition and the effects of these on the body and in space.​
