Opening Friday, March 21.
Confronting universal fears and anxieties, Skeletons in Disguise is an exhibition of collaged-based paintings and stop-motion animations by emerging Melbourne-based artist Emma Lyn Winkler.
This body of work explores death as the ultimate, inevitable unknown, framed by the contrast between contemporary and historical Western approaches to death.
Through bold, intricate paintings and experimental videos, this exhibition offers an intimate, accessible dialogue about mortality - encouraging reflection, resilience and release.
