This week, Someday Gallery presents We're only here because I dreamt us up – an international group show curated by Princess Tina founder/designer Beci Orpin. Beci has fetched Canadians Sonja Ahlers and Geneviève Castrée- two talented young artists who have been inspiring her from afar - and has brought them together in Australia to create an exhibition that is girlish but mischievous, innocent but dark, dreamy but grim.
Orpin uses symmetry, silhouettes and colour to create wood-cut works and screen prints with a strong 'folk' feel; Ahlers' craft aesthetic extends from her poetic collage work to her paintings and hand knitted bunnies; and Castrée's highly detailed, introspective drawings comment on the darkness of war and what it is like to be frightened.
The launch will be from 7-9pm on Wednesday November 1 and will feature live musical performances by Woelv (Genevieve Castree) and Calvin Johnson, the founder of K Records.
