Slowly, Slowly
January 2006, Kudos Gallery, Sydney
(group show)

'Slowly, Slowly' brings together 5 women whose creative practice is central to a cultivation of stillness in order to recognise inspiration. They place strong emphasis on experience rather than thought, thus allowing creative activity to unravel the loops of the mind. In order to be receptive to the experience of making art, these artists recognise the need for an approach that embraces stillness and slowness.

These 5 artists have learnt to work within the parameters of ambiguity and each continue to discover their own method of dealing with the material they generate. This exhibition aims to express that a cultivation of awarenessw is central to creative perception, both in the making and experiencing of works of art. Such deepening of awareness seems to vitalise and infuse the creative encounter with consciousness and can allow an uninhibited pathway to perceiving the world with accuracy and appreciation.
