speak of layers in imagery, of memory, history and social settings. Bringing together seven artists from urban, suburban, and remote regions, they ask us to recall how we navigate places in neighbourhoods, cities and landscapes, encouraging us to reflect on our experiences in these shared spaces—moving between the gaps, driving past rural settings, whether walking along pavements, trail-following in a forest, sitting in a backyard or so on. Passing through or growing in these, they emerge slowly, sometimes overlooked. Disappears, to be remembered years after. Generating with the seasons, light and rain. Few are lost in anticipation of another. They grow in resilience alongside many more creatures. A life on the ground adapts and is interfered with by many, tells of struggle, endurance and survival. The title evokes many rearranged movements on the ground, where presence and absence are never mere oppositions. In a sensitive, yet serious and imaginative series, this exhibition explore the complexities of everyday life and the associations and notions we carry as we move through—domestic, feral and wild landscapes.

not
often look at, a division situates between what the title speaks, visually enacts how we read it separately. In the act, ‘of that, what we do’ stands in negation to ‘often look at’ simply the process of beholding. Interlinking not is neither about the absence of attention nor the time given to interpret, but the irregularities and fallibility that follows between the two. ‘what we do’___ ‘often look at’ are spaces for deliberations. The title is a pause, not allowing meanings to remain fixed, but rather melt away as a response to blurring the lines between human and nature.
