Sentiment

Leah will be part of a new group show Sentiment, a co-curated exhibition that explores notions of sentimentality. This show is presented by Sawtooth ARI and The Egg and Dart in association with Ten days on the Island. In Sentiment, sixteen artists, question the value we invest in places, spaces and objects from everyday life. Using a variety of media, the works move between light and dark, fact and fiction, interest and disengagement.

Concerned with ideas of creative and cultural exchange, the curators Aaron Fell-Fracasso of Egg & Dart (NSW), and Patrick Sutczak of Sawtooth ARI (TAS) have produced a contemplative exhibition that crosses cultures to inspire thoughts of presence and departure, memory and experience, change and loss, love and longing.

Venue: Sawtooth ARI, Launceston, Tasmania
Dates: 17-26 March 2017
