Staying with the Trouble is an exhibition featuring large scale experimental drawings resulting from a year of discussions and critiques between four established artists, Linda Dening, Kim Mahood, Sally Simpson, and Wendy Teakel.
The artists reference the ideas of author Donna Haraway, whose book ‘Staying with the trouble’ asks us to stay with-in, live with-in and be with-in this planet; to take responsibility and action regarding the current crisis of life in our damaged world.
These works ask viewers collaboratively to begin to lay the groundwork for imaging the unimaginable.
