Disposal of Fullness – Sharon Kelly

Saturday 2 May – Saturday 20 June
Opens Saturday 2 May, 1pm

QSS artist Sharon Kelly’s new solo exhibition at Golden Thread Gallery opens this Saturday, 1pm.

‘In this new body of work, Kelly reflects on what remains hidden or unnoticed and how such absences shape our sense of identity and connection to the world around us. Through the use of vintage sewing patterns, and other delicate materials, Kelly delves into the emotional complexities of concealment and burden, uncovering traces of past lives and contemplating what is missing or left unfulfilled. Pockets become quiet repositories, holding secrets, forgotten memories, or unseen places offering a space where the precious and the heavy coexist. In this excavation of personal history, Kelly explores themes of intimacy, emotional weight, and inherited burden, particularly through the lens of female experience.’
