Exhibition Text
My initial intention with this show was to illuminate hidden internal spaces and structures of protection and support, referencing the architecture of shells, skeletons, wings and hollow spaces within the body or earth – hidden territories that quietly assist in maintaining the well-being of a greater whole. – Emma Walker
