Through the metaphor of "salt in our bones," artists Nora Hanasy and Jo Williams explore pivotal moments in their personal journeys, revealing how these experiences have shaped their identities.
Their artwork serves as a testament to the memories that define them, inviting viewers to reflect on the emotional depth and resilience found within their unique narratives.
Artworks will tell stories about a range of very personal themes including but not limited to addiction, loss, racism, trauma, and home sickness which the artists believe will resonate with audiences on a range of levels.
Through collaborating together, supporting each other and sharing experiences an underlying theme emerged – the relationship with the natural world and, through understanding their existence in it and the importance of place and connections, this exhibition became a healing experience accepting that ‘𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥, 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺’ - M Scott Peck.
