Today Justine spoke to Gabriella Hirst, a Sydney artist with an upcoming group show at ESP Gallery, which also features Something Else contributors Kath Lim and Lauren Carroll Harris.
Gabriella started off as a painter and ended up moving further and further away from the walls. Her recent works involves layers of silk with images of bone, flowers and faces appearing through one another, evoking ghosts, savagery, gentility and anatomical drawings, drawing from her research into 18th Century feral child Marie-Angelique Memmie LeBlanc. Displayed in heavy wooden boxes that both separate and unify the images into one, the visual ambiguity of the pieces are impossible to resolve.

“In the Woods” explores the nature of the wild in relation to contemporary society and the dialogues that exist between humanity and wilderness.
Each artist’s work encompasses a diverse reaction to the theme, from explorations of physical territory and space, to the creation of internal, psychological landscapes. The artists’ paintings, sculptures, sound and installation works have been curated so as to convert the gallery into an immersive, experiential “forest of artworks”, to encourage audiences to journey through the space, and absorb the relationships that play between each artist’s work.
