“Drawing is central to life. Almost all the works in this exhibition are drawings, some on canvas and some on paper. As an artist I have been interested in working with inks and liquid paint, and the rigour and constraint it places on my practice. Every mark is purposeful; there is no turning back or redoing it. The works present the viewer with interpretations of place and the idea of absence. Similar shapes and structure are found across subjects. Much is left out deliberately. Do we see shape, movement, texture, shadow, light, fragility, strength or transience?” Peteris Ciemitis, 2019
‘the Orange Wall’, a photographic exhibition by Jillian Ciemitis, 2019
In 2018, Jillian Ciemitis went to Assam and Bangladesh and was entranced by the depth and humanity, dignity and unity in a region known for its challenges. Often under high security, Jillian photographed hundreds of Assamese and Bangla peoples. This exhibition of natural and posed photographs of women, men, families and friends present an insightful examination of nuanced domesticity, and gender relationships. (7-19 June 2019)
