Flight Paths by Julia Powles is a large-scale sculpture that draws upon familial ties and reimagined journeys. An avid record keeper, her father annotated his life through numbers and charts. In making Flight Path, the empirical nature of this data has been transformed into a soft sculpture drawing by using waste paper. Her father’s bills, pamphlets, and receipts have been used as the filling for cut-up blankets that are then stitched and pinned in loops. These textile lines circle back onto themselves in never-ending echoes and reverberations—reminiscent of aviation aerial pathways. Glossy pink props elevate the sculpture above the floor to heights that correspond with significant mileages taken from her father’s travel record.

You can see this work in our Atrium Space now, which is accompanied by a text written by Emma Nixon.

This suite of photographic prints crawl across a molasses-coloured in REUNION. A collaboration between all Embittered Swish members and directed by Ainslie Templeton, these images depict the members as ghastly, demonic figures running and stumbling riotously through the night. Influenced by the work of photographer and gender activist Robert Hamblin, their blurred movement conjures high energy and liminal space.

REUNION is open at Incinerator Gallery Tuesday-Sunday 11am-4pm, until Sunday March 21.

Presented by Incinerator Gallery and Midsumma Festival.

Taking the idea of invisible linkages between places as its conceptual starting point, our upcoming Atrium installation, Flight Path (I Want to Believe) uses everyday materials to record and translate the flight paths made by artist Julia Powles father throughout his life.

Have you been down to the Gallery to see our new exhibition by @embitteredswish yet?

It is a haunting scene bathed in red: the dining table is set; the canapes are served; the plates are lined; the napkins are burnt; the wax is spilt; and you are invited to witness REUNION.

Presented by Incinerator Gallery and @midsummafestival
