EASS 2024: Recast

Recast brings together the works of three emerging Canberra based artists selected from graduates of ANU School of Art & Design, Alicia Cox, Sophie Kihara-Murer and Christopher Whitfield. Each reimagining materials, histories and identities through their distinctive practices. Running through these works is a sense of domesticity and work with each artist examining the tensions and intimate details of everyday actions, images and materials. Whether through the transformation of household objects, the repurposing of industrial textiles, or the imprinting of natural and built environments. Alicia Cox casts the human form into functional objects, questioning gender roles and domesticity. Sophie Kihara-Murer weaves narratives of labour, race, and environmental exploitation into intricate textile compositions. Christopher Whitfeld imprints landscapes onto clay, fossilizing moments of nature and human influence into tactile images. In Recast, labour becomes both a method and a subject, revealing the unseen narratives embedded in the materials that shape our lives.
