Abstract / Article

Cultural displacement is the theme of an exhibition of sculpture, prints and textiles by four artists who share a studio in Wellman Street, Perth. Graham Hay, renowned for his large paper clay and paper sculptures, looks at a displacement from the point of view of entering spaces owned by others. Alexander Hayes, who has worked with Aboriginal communities in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia explores the racial and religious aspects of cultural displacement. Diokno Pasilan, a Filipino artist who has immersed himself in tribal culture, takes a similar perspective, while Sofia Scarano explores the way time measurement condenses time and space. The exhibition titled ‘Wellman Street’, is at Arthouse, rear 51-53 James Street, Northbridge, 11 AM -5 PM daily until Thursday.
