Seepage From My Primal Fountain brings to light desiring and daring female subjects hidden beneath the gaze of patriarchal fetishisation and libidinal objectification. A feminine excess thus erupts, echoed in a guttural howl emanating from the depths of a perilous bosom and galvanised by two protruding horns. Along the genealogies of female pain, Alanna Lawley traces the currents of ancient wisdoms and embodied knowledges overflowing with restorative power and creative force.
Exhibition text by Lisa Deml with Laura Allsop.
The 3 chapters balance immersive evenings with quiet mornings, sound journeys and tea ceremonies inviting the surreal and the absurd to fuse within a cosmos of dreaming into lucidity.
26 April – Chapter 1 - Embryonic state: immersing in the primordial galaxy
27 April – Chapter 2 - Between Earth and Sky
28 April – Chapter 3 - Lucid dreaming into reality
