Project info:
Presented at the Warrnambool Art Gallery, LISA GORMAN + MIRKA MORA: to breathe with the rhythm of the heart, is an exhibition that aligns the work of two pioneering and ground-breaking Australian artists whose practices traverse generations and medium; intersecting at two iconic points in time within Australian art and fashion history. Curated by Aaron Bradbrook, Director of the Warrnambool Art Gallery, the exhibition celebrates the artists shared love of colour, illusion, other worldliness, and experimental modes of production, while highlighting the pivotal role fashion and textiles played in their daily lives. The exhibition puts into dialogue select garments from their iconic 2016 and 2019 collaborations, together with rarely exhibited tapestries, beloved soft sculptures, and never before seen paintings by Mirka Mora, alongside the unveiling of a large-scale, site-specific, sculptural installation by Lisa Gorman, taking inspiration from the two fundamental components of weaving, the warp and the weft.
