Recent Exhibition

Liselle Mei: BETWEEN WORLDS

Opening Reception: Saturday 1 November, 5 – 7pm
Exhibition Dates: 1 November – 30 November
Location: 1A Clara St, Erskineville

BETWEEN WORLDS weaves together a selection of lith photography and sculpture, connecting the human form with the poetry of nature and light. Drawn to the ephemeral and the eternal, my work seeks to capture both the fleeting and the enduring – a passing moment caught in my camera, a face carved to outlast us. For me, impermanence and the transience of life bring a fragile beauty to everything. My work is an attempt to touch on this. BETWEEN WORDS invites the viewer into a space where human presence and the natural world entwine, in tranquil union with each other.
